and flame print polartec used in this garment
Made for my husband, royal blue Polartec 200, zip neck/collar,
set-in gusseted sleeves. Cuffs and waistband from color matched
single-sided polartec 100 with five stiched casings, the center
one only filled with flat elastic. Fully fitted: tapered torso,
back seams longer, moderate sleeve caps. Styling with Polartec
does not have to be boxy.

I have been waiting to use this windbloc: cherry red on one
side, butter yellow on the other. I made a tunic/sweater for
outerwear, for good fit I used side panel inserts under the arms.
Set-in sleeves with significant, high caps (and about 1.5"
of ease for a two-year-old-size armscye!). Underarm gussets. The
neckline is a basic high crew, I left the hem straight, and
rolled the fabric for the cuffs to show the butter yellow
contrast.

My wedding hairpiece
I made a two-tier veil, from ivory illusion, and bound it all
around with 1/16" ivory silk ribbon. It gathers it into the
hairpiece which is set onto a comb. I made the hairpiece by
forming milliner's wire into a rectangle, covering it with
several layers of silk organza by wrapping and sewing, and then
appliqueing onto it the world's most beautiful bridal trim. The
trim is a row of organza flowers, each of which has a pearl in
the center, interspersed with leaves encrusted with tiny pearls.
I put two rows of the trim on the hairpiece and filled it out by
placing additional leaves.
