Fearless Farking Fashion, hmmm.

~ Chicago Girl is Here to Save the Day ~

Yeah.  From Farkless Fashion.

~ Chicago Girl after A Good Day's Work ~

of Fearlessly Farking Fashion From Her to Eternity and Back, with never-ending bravissima beamed directly and otherwise from Miz Baggs and/or Melanie among others who have not been named.  Like Shelley of Forest City Fashionista and her list of the Great 8.

~ You know who you are ~

But hey, there's way more than 8 Great Ones, right?    Do show and tell!  Patti's Not Dead Yet Style is a very good place to do it.  That's just where I started.  And who knows the places you'll go...

~ like leaving the geese behind ~

~ they only cross the road in single file ~

And you cannot interrupt them.

~ when I followed behind, they got all discombobulated ~

~ so yeah, that's the Chicago Skyline in the mist ~

It's about a 15 minute drive from here or so.  I'm at Montrose Harbor now which is a straight shot East of school, about 5 minutes.

~ and this is Lake Michigan and my newly made coat  ~

from DKNY Vogue 1074 .  It took a long time for me to construct.   You can read about it in excruciating detail on my Sewing Daily page if you want.   I do like the fabrics used and how it turned out.

~ hi ~

Chicago has open lakefront all along the city which is really wonderful.  Some areas are like this, others have harbors with sailboats, beaches and parks.

~ no swimming.  no kidding. ~

~ Hey, who's that bird on the Nature Trail? ~

Find out more details...

It's the same silk dupioni 'suit' from last post, EXCEPT, with a different under-top and boots.  But I also made some alterations for the better.  Highlighted here:

~ added extension strip to fill in one of the gaps ~

~ created a 6" double pleat on each side seam to take in excess ~

~ added a fringed hem side pocket ~

~ added a cargo-type pocket with fringed flap to other side ~

and I just wanted to show you my coat label...

~ oh, it's too small to read ~

~ yeah, bay-bee ~

~ don't forget my first ebay shoes/ boots ~

Phew what a long (pix-wise) post.   But of course, I'm off to Patti and the Visibles Not Dead Yet Style to show my stuff and see all the others, Catherine's I Will Wear What I Like, and Cherie's Shoe and Tell.  Come on by.
