Description I'm in the thick of preparing for Captivenia right now, with only a few more days before we start and still far too many costumes to sew! However, I just finished the last of the dresses for this year (24 in total!), and thought I'd take a quick break before heading back to the studio.

As a fundraiser for a Captivenia I had a raffle at a Catholic Family Conference recently. The proceeds were perhaps a little disappointing but, alas, I must still make the promised dresses. This is one of the two that I made, nicknamed "Countess Philomena". Honestly, I think this is one of my favourite dresses so far (and I have made a lot). I wish I was selling it instead of giving it away for $20 worth of tickets. Ah well, it will be a joy to see the winner wearing itβ€”I know she's super excited!

Other dresses:

What. The. Heck. I honestly never thought I'd get a DD. I was so confused when I logged on this morning! Thank you so much everyone for your comments and support! I'll try to respond to each of you. And of course a big thank you to *Wildweasel339 and ^FrockTarts. You da best!

And, since I know at least a few people have asked, I am open to do custom orders. The cost of each dress would vary of course, but would be somewhere between $150-200 CAD.

It all started with the most pathetic nightcap Scrooge ever wore for a school Christmas play.... The dresses I sew now are the result of hundreds of hours and countless mistakes. Trial and error my friend. Trial and error.

WOW!!! Just wow! This is incredibly beautiful. I love the detail on the yellow fabric. And the paisley print is a nice compliment to the royal blue and yellow. Congrats on the DD too!!

Gorgeous Dress! I had to check it out based solely on the fact that Philomena is my mothers name! A dress I would actually go to a renaissance fair just to wear!

You should! It's so rewarding... The first time I made a dress it was so surreal. And it didn't fall apart! I was so excited!
