Sew Darn Tired

I took a lot of photos at the exhibition and I won't go on too much but let the photos speak for themselves. I just used an iPhone having left my camera at my friend's place about 3 weeks ago and forgetting to get it when I went last week, so excuse the no so sharp or perfect snaps! This outfit is made from ribbon.. I took this close up to show the netting creating a frame for the ribbon. The rushing is done by channels of elastic. The velvet was quite worn. Yes... a corset with a pregnant belly! There was so much to see in this exhibition. One more set of photos to show. 

I'm back from Melbourne and doing some great things. I saw Nick Cave  on Thursday night and as ever he was great if you like that sort of thing. On Friday I went to the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition in the National Gallery of Victoria , it too was great. It was a great exhibition. There is a large body of work there...it's probably one of the best exhibitions I've seen. I recently saw the  Undressed  exhibition in Queensland Museum and I wasn't that impressed. It was small and all the exhibits were behind glass and the lighting I thought was poor (others made comments in the visitors book too, so I wasn't alone there). Admittedly the underwear exhibits are much older, but it was hard to see details. The Gaultier exhibition was all uncovered, with many rooms in different themes with many, many exhibits. You were permitted photos with no flash and could get right up close - but naturally not touch. I spoke with a guard there who was writing a report, in great detai...

Can't remember where I got this... sorry. I just wanted to so thanks for all the lovely comments on my dress.  I do really love it and I think it is quite flattering and  so easy to whip up. The little poster above is so there is something other than a few words. I also want to put out there, that I'll be in Melbourne of the weekend of 20//21 December and wondered if anyone wants to meet up. I know it's a bad time being weekend before Christmas - fabric shopping is probably last thing on people's minds, and I don't need anything either, but maybe a coffee or lunch or dinner would be a possibility.  I'm seeing Nick Cave on 18 December with a friend from Adelaide and I'm staying a couple of extra days.  There is an exhibition  The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier  on at the NGV and I'll definitely go to see it so if anyone wants to see it and hasn't yet and wants to meet up I'd love it. Just put a note in the comment and I'll get back...
