Here are the samples. Top picture is the sheer self-striped fabric that will go over the aqua. It is really thin. I pre-washed it and lost a bit of the crispness. Not sure how to get that back - any suggestions? The aqua fabric is just a plain top-weight or blouse weight cotton. The middle picture is the ivory over the aqua - sweet, eh? The last picture includes my boy who had to put in his paw-sense. The yellow is a sample color for the sashing. What do you all think?
Hair - The wig I have on in the last post I put together at Costume College 2009 through a workshop. I like it but it is very formal. So, I have been on the look-out for a wig that has more of the look Ms. Knightley had in The Duchess:
So, I found a wig that with a little brushing and blending my own hair it works. Missing are the sausage curls.
This is the wig I purchased and below is what it looks like on me. I bought human-hair to make the sausage curls which I think I will sew into the edge of the lower hairline in that back of the wig.
Oops cut off the top of my head, sorry, let's try again...
Okay, that is better. So, I just slapped it on without much styling but I think it will work. The wig itself wasn't too expensive - synthetic - $24.00. The human-hair bits cost about $19.99 - 12" long hair attached to narrow seam binding. So, I will curl a length of it and as I said try to attach it to the inside of the wig towards the lower hair line. Any suggestions on how to do this is welcome. Cheers.
