Description This is a tribute piece for my dear friend Madame Giry. Please check out her art as it is both gorgeous and smart.


In one of her earlier pieces, she depicted the venerable Madame in a wonderful color scheme of purples and green, which I have used in tribute as well.

I bow to you, my dear, dear friend!

this is super! she looks appropriately stern...and yet the colour in her costume lends an air of humanity...of a soft heart beneath the stays...

Opergeist In reply to primulatook [2008-05-09 03:56:29 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I'm glad that you like her. She's got kind of a cool-ly exasperated look that I kinda like. As if she's just been ignored by management....again.

*blush* A tribute! How lovely! *grins* I am very flattered indeed. You've done a wonderful rendition here, and of course, as always, your costum design rocks the world. Thank you!

It occurred to me as only fitting to nod to the one who got me started on DA those years ago.

oooh, I really like the detailing on the bodice! it'd be pretty to make...

purple and green and black is my favorite color combo. ^^

I thought you might dig it!
I would hope that the purple would be a really rich dupioni silk against black tweed and wool with another kind of raw silk for the bias piping. Woo fabric choices!

ViolentYoda In reply to Opergeist [2008-04-06 02:59:19 +0000 UTC]

Or maybe a nice matte satin for the piping? Something *almost* shiny? Actually, more because I like lots of different textures, and duponi/raw silk look pretty similar if I remember correctly. Everything else I'd completely agree with.

Opergeist In reply to ViolentYoda [2008-04-06 03:45:18 +0000 UTC]

It all depends on the weave. The current designer has sent some really coarse silk noile through the shop that looks badass.
You're right though, on the near, but not actual shininess.

yay! I get to be right about something! that always pleases me.
