100 acts of sewing . . .

well . . . maybe more like 20. yesterday my sister and i took this amazing dress making class from the lovely SONYA PHILIP (she is the girl who made 100 dresses last year) . . .  SO. INSPIRING. i’ve always loved the idea of wearing a uniform. it would make my life so much easier. my favorite dress that i own is a simple a-line dress from THEORY that i’ve worn (and still wear) for almost 10 years. i had always intended to find a seamstress to make me 10 more of said dress, but you know how THAT goes . . . never happened. coincidentally, the dress that i made yesterday (in 3 hours) is almost IDENTICAL to it. meet my new uniform.

friday field trip (from the sketchbook).

pubol, spain
2005

i saw this dress in the gala dali castle, which was salvador dali’s last workshop and the mausoleum for his muse, gala. this is one of her dresses. i love the idea of wearing a uniform everyday and if i had to, i would make sure mine was something just like this.
