I am in love with an outfit.

[LaraMN]

I can't buy it, but I may have to try to sew it, because I want it SO BADLY!

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. that is cute!

I bet it would be relatively easy to sew up! :hi:

[anarch]

2. I also am in love with an outfit

well, more of a team, really:




Yeah, so, your outfit is somewhat better looking than mine. :D

[GalleryGod]

3. Actually,...

MORE like a STAFF:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[miss_american_pie]

4. Is that two pieces?

I bet you could find patterns similar enough to make it yourself. :thumbsup:

[LaraMN]

6. I can't quite tell.

It could be a jumpsuit?

[miss_american_pie]

34. I bet you could do it as separates

In a heavy clingy knit that wouldn't need to be lined. I've never tried to make elastic waist pants, but maybe a side zipper?

:thumbsup:

[LaraMN]

38. I'm not doing elastic waist! No way! ick.

Side zipper might work....

[Beer Snob-50]

5. I HOPE YOU HAVE THE ACCESSORIES TO GO WITH IT!

the pearls add a little extra "hmmmmmmmmmmm" to the outfit.

[LaraMN]

7. I bet I could find some thrift-shop fakes.

It does need the proper accessories.
:bounce:

[Beer Snob-50]

11. Perals make the woman!!

Even if they are fake ones!!

:evilgrin:

[RetroLounge]

8. Not without boots!

:hi:

[LaraMN]

9. You can't see boots under the pants!

:rofl:

[RetroLounge]

10. But I'll know they are there...

:hi:

RL

[LaraMN]

13. I suppose that IS half the fun of wearing certain items.

:dilemma:

[dpbrown]

20. Half?

:dilemma:

[LaraMN]

22. That's an average. It depends on the item.

Socks= 2% of "the fun,"
Crotchless pantyhose= something more like 90% of "the fun."

[dpbrown]

27. You have clearly harnessed the pattern of fun...

[LaraMN]

28. Fun: it MUST be quantified and categorized!

I must ascertain the minutest amount of enjoyment yielded by various activities, so as to determine whether they warrant my engagement.

[dpbrown]

29. To paraphrase Tom Petty...

The research is the haaaaardest part...

[LaraMN]

36. I'm a Comm. major. I don't "do" vortices.

:scared:

[dpbrown]

39. They are strangely hypnotic while terrifying...

Try weaving that transfixing spell into a LaraMN special outfit...

12. It's a great look.

I think you should be able to make it without having any problems.


:hi:

[LaraMN]

14. I had my sewing machine out yesterday.

It was mostly for repair work- I haven't sewn anything new in a while, but I really should make something, if for nothing else than to stay practiced!

[In_The_Wind]

15. I remember that really cute coat you made. I'm sure you can do this.

I used to love to sew.

One of my jobs (way back when) was teaching sewing. It was very rewarding for me to help someone accomplish their goal.

[swag]

16. That would look fabulous on you.

[jpgray]

17. Once you're done painting tiny pictures

Let's go "circle the drain" later.

[swag]

25. Cycle and wheel, Here we go,

Circle the drain, and Do-Si-Do.

[jane_pippin]

18. That's a good outfit to be in love with.

Don't take this the wrong way, but my Jem doll had a similar outfit in royal blue. (She rocked it.)

It would look great on you. Get stitchin' :D

[LaraMN]

19. I never had a Jem doll. Omg. She's my cartoon doppleganger.

BOOTS!!!!

[jane_pippin]

24. She's truly outrageous! Truly Truly Truly...outrageous!

Most of the Jem dolls had some nifty outfits. The cartoon doesn't do them justice. They were all about the knee high tights and/or boots.

Cartoon doppleganger for sure! :rofl:

[kwassa]

21. Maybe you could learn to love this outfit

[LaraMN]

23. I don't sew that type of thing.

But I do have a collection of that sort. }(

[Whoa_Nelly]

26. Here's a link to tons of patterns, and maybe you could combine/adapt these

Am thinking if you make it a two-piece, the banding could be added also to the top (add at bottom of the top piece), and could be the "belt" look

30. You sweetheart! Thanks!

I could definitely work with that. After further consideration, I've determined that I'd probably have to make my own anyway, to get it to be adequate length. I smell a spring break project....

[Whoa_Nelly]

31. Pics of your design (trademarked, of course!) after it's made :-)

I sew, and it does seem to me that it would be an easy jump from using those patterns and creating the outfit you want! :thumbsup:

Now...wouldn't it be cool to turn it into a long slit skirt with a wide sequin band around the tube top? :woohoo:

The possibilities are almost endless!

[LostinVA]

32. As soon as I saw the subject, I knew it was you!

[LaraMN]

35. Should I be embarrassed?

Probably, but that's never stopped me before!

[LostinVA]

37. No -- celebrate the fame of your clothes longings

[Extend a Hand]

33. that outfit?

With that body you'd look good in a paper sack.
