Tennis Ball Dress?

Is anyone else having Project Runway Challenge flashbacks here?

I mean, I give props where props is due, but this literal use of tennis balls just is not doin it for moi. I like the use of their color and the corset is to die for.
The entire design is cool, and I like the hat, actually with the balls, but the other balls can be left off and this still kick ass.
The shoes are cool.
I don't know.....I am kinda "meh" about the balls because they look uncomfortable and just "forced onto the dress"....What say you???

Psycho Sue isn't so psycho anymore, what happened there?

I don't really identify with "Psycho Sue" anymore. I am in the process of emerging from a cocoon I guess. I don't have a name yet. You can just call me Suzanne. I have been focusing on developing my spirituality since October and I have not been feeling much like blogging. It's kinda hard to talk about sewing when you are preoccupied with enlightenment. LOL I wish I could explain it but I can't. I have just been pulled into this direction looking for inner peace and wisdom. I have been growing as a person and started doing daily meditations for lots of reasons. I guess I have become a Christian Mystic. I know, that doesn't make sense. But I never made sense anyway. But that's another story. In short, I kind of realized how much negative energy was in my life, and I wanted to remove it all. It included shuffling positions at work, leaving a project I had devoted 7 years to....among other things. I am feeling good now! I still have been reading comments ...

Finished Project: The Pat O Rama 50s Yoked-Sundress

Image
It's done! The previous post with some pattern-talk is here. There is no point in curling your puta hair in the summertime in Virginia. Complete flop everytime by noon. My staple look has been wilted curls with matching handmade flower clips on either side. The fabric is a light stretch poplin from Jo Ann Fabrics Store in VA. Beads are my mother's shell necklaces. I get loads of nice comments on it. I think I will make more. I made one with scraps of the AH Asian Print fabric too and I love it so much. I should post a pic of that one...this has been the summer of the sundress. Stay tuned, I have another one to post shortly. The top of the bodice was very tricky to draft from the sloper. I think that took most of the time. The construction was easy because I skipped doing facings and instead did a full bodice lining. I think that goes faster than facings. The front button is a working button. STAY GLAM!
