Today’s post is fairly simple, just a look at the McFarlane Jareth figurine (link goes to Amazon’s listing). I ordered this figuring, not expecting a lot, but was stunned to see how beautiful it is. I like to buy figurines like this to compare them to the original things, and just because they’re fun to collect. […]
This post is just a comment less photo-dump of some details from the back and lapels to give a better idea of the kinds of sequins and beads that were used. If there are other photos you’d like to see that I may have, let me know for a future post. Tomorrow’s is photos of […]
First post of two about the back and lapels! Tomorrow’s post will be just a bunch more photos. Remember, all photos enlarge when clicked. This first photo shows a great selection of the types of beads and baubles. The tiny little 16/0 beads are the only ones sewn on, and they follow a floral pattern […]
I can hear it already. “But, Aria, why are there so many pictures of just cuffs?!” Well, I can tell you with authoritative certainty that the spot that people are most likely to skimp on is the cuffs because the main focal point is the back and lapels, and this is what drags down an […]
The least exciting part first, shall we? 😀 Cherie Lovell, a follower of my page, confirmed that the serging is a 3-thread for both layers. 🙂 So if you want the same serging, that’s the method to use. This photo shows well the fading. It’s definitely not intentional. This side, the right side, has a good […]
(Please let me know if you don’t see 11 photos.) This post has given me grey hairs. The first time I posted this one, it disappeared. I spent scads of time on it, then…POOF. Finding the time again has been very difficult. Then, when I finished it a second time, it wouldn’t work either. Thank […]
This isn’t really a full post, but it’s worth mentioning. While double-checking on a quote in a book I have, I found this: Thirty years on, Connelly still remembers the dress she wore: a billowing silver-white ball gown of iridescent fabric, with puffed sleeves a silver lace bodice, and a pannier, or hooped petticoat, […]
NEW HI-RES PHOTOS and updated information! Click on any photo to see a ton more detail. The photos shown here are large, and will get much larger (thousands x thousands for the resolutions) when clicked. As promised, I returned to MoPop with my real camera instead of my iPhone camera. I already gave a good deal of […]
UPDATE: NEW clearer photos taken with the Canon camera I forgot the first time I went with NEW information (like how it closes, and how the lace is done, as well as where some of the bodice seams definitely are under the lace). You can find those new photos and some updated information on this […]
Well! I spent many, many hours searching for something: video showing Jareth without his ball coat on. After I posted the costume study part 1, TWO people commented with it! Like the Sarah study 2.5, this one isn’t a full study in its own, but rather an addition that is substantial enough to be a […]
