drowning in red tulle and loving it.

one of the things i love about working with tulle is that it's like water colors. layering it by itself and adding in different colors and layering that all together totally changes the feel. i added orange to the red last night and i love it, but it looked really happy and not fearful. i don't want it to look terrified, that's not the kind of fear i wanted to get at. so tonight i added a really good brown and it changed the color in a good way.

I'm still working on what this dress looks like, my direction of how to make it completely changed during one of my naps this weekend. i think i like this kind of shape. it needs some kind of bodice. 

anyway. tell me what you think.

i don't know if you can see this in the photo, but i am really enjoying the sloppy angled pleats. 

Oh! and i thought i could make a cocktail hat for wednesday nights opening, an old fashioned after five. I mean, since i don't have time to make a new dress . . . .
