Sorry for the delay and thank you for the extension...just finished editing the photos so here you go...my Bohemian Girl Thistle-Rose.

Front

I decided on layers since it is a little cold outside, each layer can be worn separately and in different combinations for versatility.

Back

Back patch detail from the same fabric as the bottom of the purse. The belt is actually a lace skirt tied around her waist the ends of the scarf are hanging down the back of the dress.

Detail 1

Closeups of the Accessories. Purse in the same fabrics as the outfit with a crocheted strap. Boot covers made in faux fur. Vest also with crochet trim.

Collage Detail 2

Collaged detail showing closeups of the purse, back of vest and to the bottom middle to show the 2 layered skirt can be taken off and the dress worn as a mini dress
which also shows of the textured stockings that I handsewed.

Glamour

 

You know I think I'll go for it. I really don't know how much I'll be able to do, but it's worth at shot at least.

Mookie was already in a Bohemian mood from the last Project Runway contest. He is always up for anything that will get him a new outfit.

 

Can I tentatively enter? If not, that's okay. I just have no idea how crazy school's gonna get with midterms coming up and whatnot...

 

Nevermind, everyone! Sorry to post and run, but Dulcet's going away for a new faceup! Can't really enter an absent doll. :O

 

I'm gonna try this again.

Here is the final result! I had alot of fun with the contest and will probably do more of them in the future In addition to being my first try at a contest, this was also my first attempt at shoes, wig, and face-up. I haven't done much photography yet either so the pictures aren't quite right despite hours of messing with my camera. It's not perfect but for being my first try at a lot of things I'm pretty happy with it. The idea for the outfit is loosly based on the style of some of my hula hooping hippie friends.

I just got Brigh, my Breccia, back from my faceup artist, and I'm wanting a good excuse to sew for her! This challenge sounds fun, and I think the style would suit my shy foxy girl.

And I'm done!

SUBMISSION
Theme is "Bohemian Winter Couture" inspired by Dr. Zhivago movie (the original). The pants don't need the belt to stay on, but I had hoped it would add a bit of Russian flare with the frilly tie-up belt... Please don't laugh at the oven-mitts, but the fabric was not sewing friendly at all and bjd hands are not the easiest to sew for LOL

GLAM: (Sorry for the awful paint shop edit; snow has failed me this year and melted before I could take the shoot outside) I have only photo shopped the original photo backing, model & outfit have not been re-touched.

what? I thought it was Dec 3rd...must have been thinking about something else..drat was just ready to add my girls pic..Guess I'll see ya next round good luck eveyone.

 

thank you so much I really appreciate it.

 

Elfmoon, I notice Kitty Blue already put her entry on page one where she had a post-holding spot. She entered a lilac skin Resinsoul mini. This makes it extra fun for me because my Resinsoul is lilac too...it will be fascinating to see totally different designs from this challenge on two such uniquely colored dolls. Also, ukelala entered a "sugar skull" faceup like I did and it will be fun to see how they interpret the challenge as well. Not to mention all the other wonderful dolls entered. This challenge promises to be very interesting indeed! Good luck everyone!

 

dang, and I was just able to get my browser to allow me to get back onto den of angels to enter!...awwwww...oh well...I can start off the new year then......

 

I've been busy, busy, busy lately, so I'm getting a later start than I wanted. But today I chose the fabrics, came up with my ideas and worked out all the measurements and fastening techniques. Tomorrow morning I start sewing. Can't wait!

 

Well I think I've got my materials down. My main colors seem to have become blue and orange.



The material is recycled from a thrifted skirt, and will become a minidress. I haven't decided which beads I'm using yet, but I want to do both a necklace and a bracelet. The orange-pink-gold yarn is going to become a crocheted shawl, and one of the crochet threads (leaning towards white) will become trim on the dress. The orange tulle will probably be a petticoat under the dress. I'm not 100% sure on that, I'll need to see how it looks, but I like the idea of the orange peeking out.

The dress will be fairly easy but I can't decide on a neckline! I need to whip up some sample trims out of the crochet thread and see how it will go. The recycled fabric is just the perfect length, and I love the printed border on the bottom.

 

phew...glad deadline is the 31st..lol..had to double check since I'm swamped with other things this weekend, I almost thought I'd need an extension, but I think I'm good to go..excited to see others costumes.

 

Work is super slow this week, so I was able to crochet up the shawl for my outfit today. Sorry for the crappy phone pic, just snapped this at the office after I finished. It just needs to be blocked a little.



Still need to decide on the neckline for the dress

 

could i get an extension please?

 

you might as well sign me up for the extension as well, I'm off on Friday so should be able to get it all done in a day, but better to be safe. thanks!

 

question...what is the date to enter the next project runway event?

 

cowpewter, I am impressed with your skillz (yes, with a 'z'). One day I will learn how to crochet, but first I need to learn how to sew without re-sewing a pair of pants 15 times
Darn the pants, darn them to the blackest pit!!!

elfmoon, I will ask for the extension as well - it's the pant's fault, I swear it!! That, and I just realized 31st falls on Saturday and I am working this week

Love the first submission May I ask what is that in his hand in the last photo? I can't see it >.<

 

sephydoll, aw thanks! I'm not super good at crochet, I can't really do garment shaping yet just basic patterns. The shawl is just a pretty lacey rectangle. And pants are hard! Especially when you get to the end and realize they can't sit down without them gaping/riding down.

elfmoon, could I go ahead and ask for the extension too? I'm probably going to wind up having to finish up over the weekend too.

 

Yes, I always end up with the plumber crack (I love calling it that) or I just have no clue what to do with the zipper part since I don't have zippers that are small enough and the little snaps always stick out too much for me

 

Oh thank you so much!! I will try that method for sure. It's just hard for me to follow any patterns (even the simplest ones) I just go with the flow, usually >.< I am sewing the pants right at this moment, and started following a pant pattern but wanted mine to be a bit baggier and all of a sudden I realized I am completely off the pattern track... I am trying to follow this pattern here

Too late for the zippers at this point, but I will bookmark the site for next time

 

@cowpeter- your shawl is pretty! For as long as I've been sewing, there are two things I fail at- crochet/knitting, and embroidery. I am jealous of your skills. XD

@sephydoll- don't feel bad about the pants, I just made some spandex stretch pants from one of my tried-and-true patterns, and I'm still getting plumber's crack. I think the slippery resin is to blame. DX

also, he's holding a muskrat(?) skull we bought from a small animal hunter at a flea market. I really don't know how one can make a living trapping animals smaller than a housecat, but it's best not to ask those kinds of questions in rural Pennsylvania.

 

Ahaha, didn't mean to confuse- I make all my own patterns, and the particular one I was using was a pants pattern I've been using for about three years. Most of the pants I've made for any of my 70cm boys came from some alteration of it, but apparently it's not going to work for stretch pants.

 

I have made pants using this tutorial before and on the first one I avoided crack by making the pants to sit at the doll's waist rather than his hips but having them close loosely. That way when he sits down the pants have enough extra fabric to be pulled down without showing crack. For the other pair I wanted the pants to sit lower, so I put two darts in the back. About 1/2 way down on page 8 is the post I worked from when doing darts for my boy.

 

Hey elfmoon, did you see my extension request?

 

Thanks everyone for all the advice I still feel I am such a long way to go before any of my pants look semi-decent, but at least I am almost done with somewhat presentable looking pants for the challenge hehehe

 

I am sorry but I will have to withdraw from the contest. Hubby had surgery before Christmas and with the holiday preparations and him requiring extra attention, I have not been able to apply myself to the task of costume making.

 

Regretfully I will not be able to complete the project. I was quite happy with the chance to participate once again, but failed to fully prepare for the challenge. I hope to join again in the future.

 

Congratulations to the winners
