Of Cross Overs and Drop Fronts

I am just over half way in making my new cross over gown. I've cut the bodice on the bias, as it's striped, it's looking rather good if I say so myself. Best not spoil it until it's finished. It's made from a soft indian cotton, olive green and beige stripes. I have love green tassels to attach at the cross over fastening point and at the sleeves, which are to be short puffed sleeves.

My dear friend has suggested the most awesome idea (it's a wonder I didn't come up with it!), to make a regency dress each when I visit her in August. We have, or rather she suggested, to make drop front gowns. I have to trace the patterns and send them along. Now to scout all available fashion plates to find something to copy if I can!

And I have decided each time I post to rate an album I am currently in love with!

Starting with a classic band and their 'new' album released in 2005 with new frontman JD Fortune. I finally got around to listening to this from way to go:









1. Devil's Party - 5 Stars
2. Pretty Vegas - 5 Stars (It is imperative to play this LOUD)
3. Afterglow - 3.5 Stars
4. Hot Girls - 4 Stars
5. Perfect Stranger - 4.5 Stars
6. Remember Who's Your Man - 3.5 Stars
7. Hungry - 4 Stars
8. Never Let You Go - 4.5 Stars
9. Like It Or Not - 3.5 Stars
10. Us - 3.5 Stars
11. God's Top Ten - 4 Stars

Overall a pretty good damn album. But then again, there is hardly an album I own that I don't LOVE!
