Speaking of Big Clothes

~ Woman Reading by Malcolm T. Liepke ~

Here's a big tablecloth that I've already rehabbed before I even posted it the first time.  Originally made in the summer, I've since made it a little bit smaller at the shoulders, neckline, sleeves and raised the waistline.  Other than that, it's the same.  But since you never saw it, here it is now....................

So, do I look like the Woman Reading above?

Joni James of An Artful Closet told me about the artwork saying it looked like me and asked if I'd seen it.  Nope, but I looked it up and voila, there it is for your perusal.  Thanks Joni. 

This is a big dress...

Made from a big tablecloth as well as 2 other ones.  Can you guess which is where?

Well, that's a give away.

I wish I knew how to type upside down on here so I could give you the answers...hmmm.
ahh, answers after the break.



1)  the sleeves are tablecloth extras used in the alienwear dress
2)  the back skirt is another entire tablecloth
3)  the rest of the dress is the big tablecloth
extra credit)  the bias tape around the neckline is made from fabric scrap

This dress is a take off from the Kika Dress freebee by Tina Givens I mentioned in my last post. You probably wouldn't recognize it now, but that's where it started from.  Be aware she sizes extremely large - even for me.

More details of the dress itself can be found on my Clothes for Fall page.
