The Friday night theme at Camp Hollywood was Maharaja -- Chris wore a tuxedo (inspired by Hal), and I made a "1940's does Arabian Nights" playsuit - you know, like how all the costumes in period movies of the 30's & 40's look more like contemporary fashions with only a slight nod to the past. That's what I was going for.
Again, this is a rayon fabric for good swish. The skirt is a long panel that's gathered with box pleats into the waistband, and I put butterfly sleeves on the top for ease of movement.
These photos are from the Amateur Balboa contest - we got first place that year. It was also probably the best hair day of my entire life, and I like to think that had a little to do with winning. ;)
Wow wow ! Fantastic! :) I want to go dancing so baaad with my darling :)

ReplyDeleteThat's totally great Beth!! Live the print and color of the fabric :)
ReplyDeleteThis costume is fantastic! I can hardly believe that was 2008. Seems like you just made it!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Cleaning out the vintage treasures is so hard! I've had some luck selling some things on Etsy but I still have quite a bit left. Good luck!
Enjoy the summer dancing. :)
