{Out and About: In Pursuit of Fashion at The Met}

February 25, 2020 by kelerr

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 […]

{December Sewing Update}

January 17, 2020 by kelerr

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 […]

{Costume Design: Belle’s Ballgown from Beauty and the Beast}

December 20, 2019 by kelerr

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 […]

{Out and About: Costume Talk with Donna Zakowska}

December 13, 2019 by kelerr

Facebook can be a wonderful thing sometimes, especially when it helps me find events I wouldn’t otherwise know about. So when the opportunity for a free talk with Donna Zakowska, the costume designer for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, came up I jumped on it! In a word, the event was amazing. I went straight from work in the hopes of getting a good seat and I ended up in the fourth row! Sadly there were no pictures or videos allowed […]

{The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Season Three: My Favorite Looks }

December 10, 2019 by kelerr

Well, I’m already suffering from post-Mrs. Maisel season three depression. I plowed through it on Saturday and now have no more new episodes until season four graces Amazon. I will miss the clothes the most, but as I’ll be spending the next couple of months making copies of all of Midge’s costumes from this season, I should get through this dry period okay! These posts are primarily about the costumes, but I may give away a plot point or two […]

{November Sewing Update}

December 6, 2019 by kelerr

I cannot tell you how much less pressure I feel doing these posts as “sewing updates” rather than makes posts. I don’t feel like I have to rush to get something done to show it off, and the truth is, other things that need to get done would suffer for that. Updates means I can show off works in progress, which makes it so much easier! As with last month, most of this month has been utterly and completely focused […]

{Sewing is Cheaper Than Therapy}

November 29, 2019 by kelerr

I have has this post sitting in my drafts for months, mostly written but never posted. While the title is an amusing statement said by many sewists, for me it actually covers a semi-heavier topic. I have generalized anxiety disorder, with a strong lean towards social anxiety disorder (or perhaps the other way around if I’m being completely honest; I become a nervous wreck anticipating social situations and things that often seem like nothing to other people – like calling […]

{Out and About: Charles James, Beyond Fashion}

November 22, 2019 by kelerr

Note: This is a repost from 2014, as I completely forgot about providing a blog post for today!Regardless, it’s fun to dice into the archives and share something that may be new to you all. Today I FINALLY made it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute exhibit, Charles James: Beyond Fashion. And I can say without a doubt that Charles James is my favorite designer. I’ve been familiar with his work, but being able to see it in […]

{The Costume Design of Edith Head: Part Two}

November 19, 2019 by kelerr

When I last wrote about The Dress Doctor, I had gotten through four full chapters and was about halfway through chapter five. Since then, I have not had much reading time, but I managed to make it through a few more chapters and have plenty more to write about! When we pick up the book again, Edith Head has become the head designer at Paramount Pictures. Her first movie under this new title was Cafe Society with Madeleine Carroll, which […]
