Wow this show keeps growing and growing and grrrrrrowing...about 4 weeks to go and I am about halfway there....hmmmm...anyway here are a few pics of Fannie's costumes. The light blue is a cocoon coat in silk velvet for the dinner scene and the second is her dress for the train scene when she sings "Don't Rain on My Parade". Back to work. Busy Busy Busy : )

I was hunting through a local thrift store and found this awesome brown striped, ruffled front shirt and couldn't resist bringing it home. I constructed a brown skirt to match and added the trim to bring the look together. I need to add the hat, tie and belt and it's complete. Not bad for a few dollars : )

Okay my first challenge...turning this ugly lemon yellow Victorian style bridal gown into a beautiful Ziegfeld Follies bridal gown. Hmmm, this will be tricky. I picked this up on eBay for only a few bucks so I thought it would be worth a try. The seller stated it was pastel yellow and cream....it arrived lemon yellow and yellow...ucky! I think I heard the gown sobbing.
I'll stare at it for a few days til I go blind then stick it in bleach and see what happens : )

Okay, I'm back....finally. I'm working on a great project over the next three months and I thought I'd blog my ups and downs, victories and defeats, highs and lows...you get the picture : ) And the show is....drum rolllllllll........

Funny Girl

This should be a blast and I'm off to a good start, mostly...

Pics to follow : )
