Midsummer and Renn Faire
Oct. 21st, 2007 12:40 pmAh man, been a busy busy busy week. And now going into yet another busy busy week. x_x; But at least the costumes for the play are done! So one less thing to take up my time.
I mentioned it a while back but sure not many people read it. The first play of the semester was A Midsummer Night's Dream and I was "costume shop manager" for the show. The costumes all turned out amazing and I watched the show on Friday and omg, it was so cool! Our version was probably one of the best versions of the play I've ever seen. It may just be a college level play but damn was it good.
I'm soooooo proud of everyone. I know pretty much the entire cast as some of my friends were in it and then I met the rest from working on wadrobe in the past and so have become friends with a lot of the usual actors. All the fairies were punk and it was hilarious! So much creative humor went into it. We even had exploding flowers. XPXP And Alex was the best Puck ever, man! Mohawk and all.
Well, I could ramble about the play forever but I don't think many of you are interested in the details of it. Wish I could get a copy of it though to show everyone. Hm, maybe I can try. But anyways, now to show you my pride and joy. The dress (yes, I said dress, omg, I made a dress XP) I made for the show.

The dress for Titania, or as I like to call her "Titty". Many thanks to Jillian for letting me take pictures of her. Though sadly this picture does NO justice to the way it looks on her. She was gorgeous on the stage in it. The bottom part flares out and does a "swoosh" number when she walks. And yes, the fabric is see-through but she's got a bodysuit underneath. The fabric is both green and purple, it changes as she moves. And all the applique on there I drew myself and sateened stitched around every single one in green.
Though a few details I'm not satisfied with it on. First off, I thought Leon or Sarah was going to be putting some closure on the cuffs for me. Obviously they aren't. x_x;; And she's been wearing it open like that. Blah, so I may go in (if I can, I don't think I have time though) and put at least something on there but I also don't want it to be too tight on her wrists. See, that's why I was hoping someone would at least safety pin it close for her during the shows. Since I don't get to see her when I'm in the shop. Ah well. That and the fact that the shirt comes open in the front....not intentional and I've been debating fixing it or just leaving it like that. lol 'Cause it does kinda give a nice sexy look to it. XPXP
And then yesterday I also went to the Renn Faire! Finally! Haven't gone in years. ;_;

Blah, now I go to do hours upon hours of school work. x_x;; Nnnnggggh.
