I've just learned something awesome at work, team. On the 27th of October, the Terminus building in Buckhead is hosting an event. Basically, it's a silent auction and costume contest type thing (with celebrity judges that I don't know the identity of...) with all the proceeds going to benefit single moms who are serving overseas. The money raised is gonna be used for super nice things like helping pay for airfare and setting up webcams and things so families can stay in touch. I also heard something about Navy Seals repelling down from the top of the building? Which is super freaking tall, so that'll be a sight in and of itself. But one of the best parts is that apparently everyone at the restaurant is supposed to dress up. Dress code for that evening will be political, military inspired or PINUP. Guess which train this costumer is jumping on. This will be such fun research, I gotta find a great polka dot print somewhere. If anybody has suggestions, you just send them my way!
On a related note, my top went over quite well and now I have to make a top for one girl and a dress for another. This is thought one for Natalie's dress... I'm thinking plum and a kind of bright copper type... thing? We'll see. I just know there has to be buttons. Lots of buttons. Maybe something a bit like this?
This is what happens when we have a slow Saturday at work. Good times. But that's all for this evening, internets, I'll be digging through my fabric basket to see if there's anything pinup worthy and I'll totally be putting up some of the better research I come up with. Y'all are great, don't forget.
PS: Sorry the sound's all messed up in the video that I posted yesterday! I need someone tech savvy to help me figure out how to make my webcam not be a punk. :)
