Today I finally had time to get some pictures of the dresses I made for myself to wear to Frozen, Jr. Believe it or not, this is only the second year I’ve made a concentrated effort to make myself something to wear to the show. I’m amazed that with the last minute craziness that I was able to do so, but I made it happen (lets just say I didn’t do much but sew and sleep in January!). I knew […]

Most people know that the Metropolitan Museum of Art does an annual costume institute exhibit, but occasionally they have other fashion exhibits on throughout the year. This is the case for In Pursuit of Fashion: The Sandy Schreier Collection, the current fall exhibit. From the Met’s page on the exhibit: “The Costume Institute’s fall 2019 exhibition features promised gifts from Sandy Schreier, a pioneering collector, who over the course of more than half a century assembled one of the finest […]

I promised to be back with a post today, and here I am! Moving forward with the blog, I am still planning to do posts on Tuesdays and Fridays. However, I am going to be a little more forgiving when I don’t get a chance to do it. This blog is not my main job (or really a job at all), and I often have a lot going on. I don’t need to add more stress in other places that […]

Seems insane to do the December sewing update in the middle of January, but here we are. I don’t have a ton to report that doesn’t have to do with Frozen, and looking back at my pictures I’m realizing that all projects I worked on are ones that I don’t want to show off until they appear on stage! So, I’m going to try and write this out without being too boring, and show off some cryptic previews. First off […]

This past Sunday night, I headed out for the second of three Broadway shows of the month (the third will be West Side Story): Moulin Rouge! The tickets were a Christmas gift from my mom. We both loved the movie when it came out, and were curious about the Broadway version. We had also heard very mixed reviews, and I myself had mixed feelings about seeing it, given that I had heard some of the soundtrack in advance and didn’t […]

I’m back dating this post to Friday, January 10, but truth be told I completely forgot to write it. This is crunch time as far as working on the musical goes (we’re three and a half weeks away!), and my brain is not at full functioning capacity at the moment (unless you need me to identify whose shirt is who from a pile of exactly matching shirts). December was the month of Lisa Jewell. I read not one, but FOUR […]

Oh gosh, where to start? I’ve posted about Waitress and how much I absolutely adore it on this blog numerous times (here, here, and here). From the Sara Bareilles score to the storyline to just about every single little thing about it. It’s just magical, and it has kept me going back for more and more and more. There’s just something about it that speaks to me on so many different levels, and every time I left the theater, I […]

Somehow, insanely, it is 2020. The Roaring Twenties are back (hopefully minus the prohibition)! Usually my first post of the month is my reading list for the previous month. However, like everyone, I have done a fair amount of reflecting, not necessarily on the entire last decade (although that did enter my thoughts once or twice) but on the new year in general. I once made a resolution not to make any more resolutions (really just to annoy my dad […]

NOTE: This is a repost from two years ago. Prepping for the holidays have me busily running around trying to get everything done before the celebrations begin (including an early one this weekend!). With Frozen Jr. getting closer and closer, I thought it would be fun to look back at Beauty and the Beast. This will be the first in my series on my costumes for Beauty and the Beast. I’ve been holding off on posting any progress photos for […]
