Firs of all, Rachel has done a number of interviews for Anathema, and is being mentioned in articles pretty regularly now: Comic Booked, The Outhousers (They loved the illustration of her on the toilet. I had so much fun drawing that!), and on AfterEllen which is pretty rad, if I may say so. I'm super excited that all of her hard work is being noticed. Another one with a rather exciting site should be up soon. Yay!
Since she's so awesome, I'm totally marrying her. :) I think I've finally found the pattern for our dresses for the wedding! I was looking through my favorite projects on burdastyle, and I saw frkbustad's That Little Black Dress. Only then did I realize that I have this pattern, and was working on a mock-up/toile/muslin of it. Problem: I hate the bodice. The gathering in the front, while simple, is a little too... gathery for what I want. But when Rachel and I were talking about her dress, I found an alternative in my stash!
Meet New Look 6557. This one has gathering around the bust line, too, but since it's a horizontal gather, it's much simpler to turn into a dart. I'm working on the muslin for Rachel right now. She's doing the halter version, which I'm already excited about, even though the muslin is a patchwork of blue, black, with pencil marks all over it. For myself, I'm going with version E. Love that neckline!
Why, oh why, did the weather have to get nice when I have so much work to do inside?!
