Finished Project: The Elvis Sundress, 50s era


Hey Sailor
Hey BIG MAMA! I am ready to play you some blues now!
I have been spending time and money on my Blues Project: web design, planning photoshoots, practices, gigs, buying equipment, videos, logos, blah blah blah.
If you are a musician- you understand how much work your ass does that it NEVER gets paid for!
Anyhoo....I did a test bodice for the little 50s sundress with the trailor park print a long long long long way back. I even have a video on Youtube where I talk you through copying a new collar onto a pattern block using this pattern.
I bought some extra Kona Cotton and finished it off into a full dress.
It's pretty damn hot.
I think Elvis le gusta mi vestido, no?
I can be ridiculous when I want to be. This looks like a champu commercial.
Ok you putas, here is you cheesecake pinup foto, already!

Eposito is the photgrapher. I must have liked him that day. It was the very last night I went to perform with my former cover band - The Backseat Betties.
I had a really good show and I played my ass off. Seriously, that hairdo was toast.
Well that band is over now, and it's all about Suz's Blues Band now.
BIG MAMA SUZ WILL PLAY 'EM BLUES
LOL
Sorry. I get excited.
Stayed tuned for mas vestidos.
(PS- I am going back to pelorojo)
STAY GLAM!

 Yep, the material is the same as my last project. I can safely say that I have two one of a kind dresses for a total of $40 handmade! I only have a few scraps of this left. The first dress is 40s era. This second dress is 50s era. If you watched my last video on my youtube channel, this is the pattern that I showed you how I adapted the collar. This Advance Pattern has a beautiful double collar. It's just the cutest. Well...it's at least a CUTE pain in my ass to sew. LOL  The skirt portion is my sloper. The amount of material I had left from the last dress was not enough to make a full skirt. So I used the fitted skirt sloper. It shows off my curves.  The little calf leather box purse I found at a local vintage shop. I love it!  Round booty doin it's duty! Ok so this pattern originally has these cute upturned contrast cuffs. I made them and hated them. They just do NOT look good on me. I love how cute they are, but because my upper arms are bigger, the cuff just pulls the

Love handmade rockabilly items by me? Selling jewelry!

A long time ago I had this crazy idea to make and sell jewelry. I made up a bunch of items that never sold. Everything here is handmade by me. It has to go as a package though. The whole lot of 8 necklaces, 4 earrings, and 2 sweater clips sells for $40 plus shipping. Email me mlcloset@yahoo.com The little round ones are classic horror movies.
