Christmas Tree Photoshoot

December 24, 2019December 24, 2019 misstemby4 Comments

When I realised that the Pretty Princess Dress was going to match my parents' Christmas tree this year I joked to a friend that I could dress up and take photos with it. As soon as the joke was made, however, my brain started whirring with thoughts at the possibility of actually doing it. So,… Continue reading Christmas Tree Photoshoot

The Penguin Bodice

February 28, 2018February 24, 2018 misstemby2 Comments

I don't know how creative I am when it comes to naming different outfits that I make but, this is what happens when a spur-of-the-moment nickname sticks. It should really be called something like, 'The Riding Habit Inspired Bodice' because, as long and rather dull as it sounds is the truth of it. This bodice… Continue reading The Penguin Bodice

Trimmed With Tartan Part III

I finished the bodice on Saturday and took some time out on Sunday to take some photos of the completed bodice and overskirt.

The next thing I knew, I was buying new books about the fashion of this new decade (The Keystone Cutter and… Continue reading The Antique Rose

A Mad Dash About Caccia Birch

May 28, 2017May 28, 2017 misstembyLeave a comment

I was really hoping to be posting about my 1890s skirt project today but, it turns out that applying and sewing about 18 metres of Russian Braid takes quite a while! Not to mention, I now have the oh-so-exciting task of hand sewing the hem facing in. So, while I can't yet write about that,… Continue reading A Mad Dash About Caccia Birch

The second row of pleats on my Tissot Striped Skirt have been attached! Just one more row to go before I have to stop procrastinating and start making the bias and straight grain trims...
The first row of pleats has been made an attached! One small step closer to making the striped Tissot Dress seen in Still On Top (@aucklandartgallery), and other Tissot paintings. I'm making this with a striped cotton shirting from @wearethefabricstore and Truly Victorian patterns 😊
The more I study this dress in the various paintings, the more I see. The underskirt is absolutely fascinating when you break it down:
It has begun! My Big Project for 2021 is based on the amazing dress from Tissot's Still On Top painting, held by @aucklandartgallery
