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.

Rachel McKibbens said... Best Blogger Tips

I don't know why everyone refers to this as a Halloween costume. I would totally have my daughter(s) wear this when we go grocery shopping. Or to the library. Or high tea.

Paige said... Best Blogger Tips

Hi Kathleen, I am absolutely stunned by both the beauty of the dress and the beauty you show everytime you give one of your creations away to be enjoyed. I have linked to your blog from mine in the hopes that my blogging (few) friends will see and fall in love with your dress. What I want to know is: how do you get your daughter to model these creations? She looks beautiful and the fact that she sat at all as often as she does is amazing. Anyway, you have a hard choice a head of you. Good luck to you and good luck to me!! My daughter would love this and then share it with her younger cousin!!

I can only cross my fingers and toes in hopes to win this for my daughter. She will be the stunner on Halloween and all the parties that come with it!!! And as usual I have linked you to my blog.

Ramona said... Best Blogger Tips

What an amazing dress. I know exactly the right girl for it. (I guess like about 1,000 others, too) But it is not for my daughter (and I would not even think about making you send it to Germany. Postage would be a killer) No, it will be for a friend in the US who has two adorable girls the right age and who's right now expecting a third girl. So your dress would get plenty of use!

Tara said... Best Blogger Tips

Oh my word I cannot believe you made this. How absolutely beautiful!! I have to win lol :)

Oh my goodness! This nearly made me cry.

My mom used to make the most elaborate Halloween costumes, and she passed away two years ago. I've never seen anyone come close to her talent, but you sure did with this.

It just makes me smile inside to know there are moms out there like you with that gift. :) I love to sew but I don't have the talent that my mom had in her little pinky.

I'm going to enter to win this, but not for myself. I have a friend whose little girl would be amazing in this. She's also a photographer, and I'm sure she'd love to have this for professional use.

I found your blog through "Today's Creative Blog", btw. I'm adding you to my bloglines!

You're so generous to share your talents the way you do.

CrazyMonkeyHouse said... Best Blogger Tips

I watched that movie twice just last week, drooling over each costume.

Definitely use metal next time. Boning is just too flexible if you are trying to get a good reduction or using it to support heavier fabrics. I've never gone back to regular boning...being poked in the stomach with a broken piece that has cut its way through your corset is not a plesant experience.

I actually set up my blog 2 days ago and a friend had a link to your site. i dont know if i linked it correctly. it just made a post on my blog. but it did not make a link on the side. i'd like to be in the raffle so if you would like me to do it differently please let me know. thanks. i write my blog in both english and polish.

Your sewing is truly a work of art. You may consider gathering a collection and displaying it first at libraries, then at museums and galleries. when you are labeled as an artist, you may be able to sell your work framed at 60 thousand dollars like artists do...it's just a thought...

Art Nest said... Best Blogger Tips

My friend, Summer, from Artfulife, would just die to win this dress. Summer is one of your most loyal followers. Seriously.
She has 3 little girls who would all enjoy this wonderful creation...if it's not hanging on her wall as a piece of fine art!!! Your dress would be lucky to go to Summer's house - Zana

Stacey said... Best Blogger Tips

I can't believe you are giving this away. If I had a fraction of your talent and sewed something like that, I would sell it. You are too generous. The dress is absolutely gorgeous!

JeniLizi said... Best Blogger Tips

Canyon Girl said... Best Blogger Tips

You are an amazing seamstress! I LOVE IT!!!

Christie said... Best Blogger Tips

My 3 year old would love this! I would too, but I don't think you would have enough fabric for a maternity sized one. Gorgeous!

becki said... Best Blogger Tips

what talent you have. I probably could have bought the ribbon and fabric, but that's about it. i'm truly in awe of you.
i linked you on my blog, but it's private, so you can't see it-but i promise i did!

Anonymous said... Best Blogger Tips

Never, and I mean never, have I seen anything like this for a little girl... and I sewed my own wedding dress, so I spend a lot of time with the crafty set! This is truly an art piece, and the fact that you're willing to let it go to someone else is really incredible. What a neat idea, too - don't sell it, just pass it to the next person who will enjoy it as much as you have. And oh boy, that's me! :)

Anonymous said... Best Blogger Tips

Mickell Gehret said... Best Blogger Tips

I put a link to this on my journal because I think youre completely fabulous!! I found your link via another LJ'er!

Elizabeth said... Best Blogger Tips

Not that I would win this or even that one of my 4 sons would wear it, so please don't enter me in this contest.

I just have to say it is beautiful. I love this era and this dress is just amazing. I would hate to part with it too, if I had a daughter to wear it. I think I would cry.

Sue said... Best Blogger Tips

This is the most beautiful dress ever. If I were to be lucky enough to win it I promise it would be treated with respect such a piece of art deserves. All your clothes are just divine.

Lorissa J. Longfellow said... Best Blogger Tips

I just wanted to say wow!! Beautiful. I would love to have this for my daughter, but she is only in a size 2/3t and I made her a costume already.
Beautiful and amazing work. I wish I had the talent to make something so beautiful.
I couldn't not comment and let you know how much I loved this dress. If it was next year and she would fit in it or if I could afford to have you make another again I would love it, but no.
Congrats to whom ever wins this beautiful dress and thank you for your wonderful generosity.

hpalleiko said... Best Blogger Tips
