CoCo planning
Everyone else seems to be doing it lately and I think I finally almost sort-of have my plans figured out. So here goes:
Thursday night/Pool Party: 1960s confetti cotton dress
Friday classes: 1920s/Gatsby or Little House dress group
Friday night/Ice Cream Social: sounds like this might be the Game of Thrones group time
Saturday classes: 1920s/Gatsby or Little House dress group
Saturday night/Gala: Little Mermaid bustle gown (link to Pinterest board)
(Sunday breakfast: Regency cotton dress or spencer and petticoat)
Sunday classes: Regency Lost Hope Fairy
The 1960s and GoT dresses are already done so I don't need to worry about those. My essential costumes that I NEED to make are my 2 bustle dresses (Little House and Little Mermaid). Then, if I have time I want to make a 1920s and Lost Hope Fairy. If I don't have time, then my 1790s striped chemise gown is my back-up for Sunday and my 1942 green linen dress for day on Fri. or Sat. The second Regency is absolutely bottom of the list, but I got some pretty blush spotted voile that would make a lovely Regency dress and lots of fabrics around that would make good spencers since I have to make a strapped petticoat anyways.
For the 1920s I have 1.5m of black linen-rayon blend that I can trim with white sateen. I thought the black and white combo would be nice for Art Deco styling. Maybe I could also figure out a fun hat. Mostly, I thought 1920s would be less labour-intensive and something I could get done quickly.
For the Lost Hope Fairy, I kept thinking about what I had in the stash and would make sense for the theme. I remembered some shot black and purply-blue synthetic shantung I had sitting around. I also have some black synthetic chiffon. So I decided on a dress the colour of night, with a dress of the shantung and a tunic of the chiffon, dotted with little gold spots I could paint on for stars and maybe some silly tassels. Maybe also a turban with a crescent moon decorating it? My Pinterest board for this one.
