Marie-Therese Gown GIVEAWAY!!!! CLOSED.

October 19, 2008

marie thereseOh, where to begin? Well, let me start off by saying that this was by far the most ambitious dress I've ever sewn. After this, I have fewer qualms about sewing a wedding gown. With all the man hours I put into the gown itself, not withstanding the fabric, I would say this gown is worth $500....if my time was worth $15 an hour. You can do the math. Like I said...ambitious. At least I knew what I was getting into from the beginning.

I fell in love with the idea of doing a french 1700s piece after watching Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. Each candy pink and blue scene made my heart ache and it was all I could think of since. It feels good to finally get all that inspiration out in one big frilly burp.

I spared no expense with this costume. Homemade florets cover the under skirt and creep up along the bodice. I found the blue and black trim at my favorite niche fabric store. It was exactly what I was looking for. I paired it with the pink satin ribbon. A whole SEVEN YARDS worth!!!!




marie therese
What took a chunk of my time was the smocking in the over skirt. You can see a more detailed image near the bottom. I stitched each and every one of the knots myself.

The satin ribbon was also used around the sleeves and tied off with a long flowing bow. As you can see I added a long lace material to the ends of the 3/4 length sleeves and around the neckline.





marie thereseSadly, the neatest part of this gown can't even be seen. That is the historical underpinnings. Yes, I made one of those corsets that bulge out at the sides. I used 'boning' but if I had to do it again I'd use good old fashioned metal. The boning didn't exactly cut it. The dress is a bit heavy but I had to keep fluffing the sides which shouldn't have been necessary.







marie thereseAll you Marie Antoinette voters were so very close. Please don't be confused by the Marie Therese reference. I could have gone with Marie Antoinette but that is so cliche right? Marie Therese was her only daughter. When I watched the movie the little girl reminded me of Lily so I thought she would be more appropriate.








marie thereseAnd YES! That is Lily's real hair! (plus a few Photoshopped curls). I thought it would be harder to poof but you would be surprised what magical results simple hairspray can accomplish. We used Halloween white spray for the color. Lily was pretty good about the whole thing. Taking it out was another story.

Poor Lily, she's had a runny nose for a while now, you can sort of see from the photos that she has a chapped upper lip. I kept having to wipe her nose on my sleeves mid-shoot.
marie thereseI know I say this so often, but this WILL be heartbreaking for me to part with. As with the previous giveaway, I only hope that it goes to someone who can get good use out of it!

If the winning blogger also leaves a comment I will include the rose choker in the giveaway.

And a special thank you to the reader who recommended me to Craft blog for my handkerchief post. I was so flattered!


This costume is BIG. So I would say it could fit a 3T-5T.

Last day for posts is Friday 10/24/08. Winner will be announced Sunday morning! Just in time to get this to you by HALLOWEEN!!!!

As usual, if you would like a chance to win this costume just link back to this post. If you have any questions see the "questions and answers" link to the right. If you use blogger just use the "create a link" link at the bottom of this post. If you don't use blogger, that's fine too. Just create a link on your page as you normally would and I will see it using Technorati.

Not sure if my last psot went thought. I have to say this is the most amazing dress I have ever seen. My family is from France and we go back every year. I took my daughter to Versille last year and she fell in love with it. I would love to take her back and take pictures of her in that dress. It would be to die for.

Who ever wins that dress won the lottery. Its a piece if art.

Good Luck

That costume is beautiful. You have outdone yourself.

Katherine Krause said... Best Blogger Tips

How lovely and how giving. It made me feel good just to think of the creative vitality you share. The encouragement this gives to other artists of all sorts goes far beyond the joy we all get from thinking of this beautiful dress and the pleasure it would provide to someone dear to us. My reasons are twofold. First, I'm only just beginning to improve my sense of health by re-awakening my own creative side in appreciation of others fine works, and second, because of 6 year old Evie, the royally sweet sprite that dances through my dear family and shares her 'reigning' light upon all she meets. She should have just such an artful and delightful surprise bestowed upon her. I congratulate you upon your new shop and wish you much continued success, health, & wellbeing.

I know it is to late to enter to win, but I just wanted to say this was just the most beautiful costume. My 4 year old was loving it also. You are very talented!

Anonymous said... Best Blogger Tips

Absolutely stunning! If I should be privileged enough to win, I'll auction it off to benefit Children's Hospital in Seattle. Something so precious is sure to bring a great deal of wealth to kids who are ill.

Congrats on the beautiful dress!

Sincerely,
Connie
