Italian showcase
I finally got around to voting for the Realm of Venus Rose Awards which is a yearly "Viewer's Choice Award" for Italian Renaissance costumes featured on the twice a month Italian Showcase run by Donna Bella Lucia da Verona of The Realm of Venus.
The Italian Showcase features self submitted gowns generally inspired by historical sources or period piece films and is based on Festive Attyre's more inclusive Featured Attyre showcase. I have thought about submitting something for a long time but it wasn't until I started working on " The 4L Dress" that I felt I had something worth submitting.
She's already booked for all of 2007, so I have a full year to finish this dress. If I can't do this in that amount of time with the whole base dress pretty much together already (minus the skirt rework) I seriously deserve the embarrassment of having to back out.
At this point the main thing keeping me from it is my dress form (since I have to reset the skirt the right way this time, which REALLY requires a dress form, really). I'm not even getting into the horror story that is fitting this dress form cover. Seriously.
All posts regarding this project are listed here on the initial post.
