These are from the Miss Universe Pageant. I didn’t actually get to see it but I wish I had. I caught this article in my CraftStylish newsletter. In addition to the traditional pageant gowns and swimsuits they had to wear a costume representing their country. Check out these costumes. Some of them look amazing. Above is Miss Great Britain and below is Miss Russia. These are probably my favorite two.
I will say however, I was quite disappointed with Miss USA. It looks like it is a slutty Halloween costume. All the others I saw have so much more glitz going on and this has none of it.
Tuesdays are now going to be Twofer Tuesdays, where I will post things like 2 tips, 2 favorites, etc. Today, I will start this with the two fabrics I am debating between for my Chanel sew along. I am making the orange jacket in the center back row of v7975. The first choice is this buttery yellow plaid boucle. With this fabric I would use a creamy white trim. I love the design and color of this one. I don’t have anything yellow in my wardrobe, which is what draws me to this as well. I am not sure if yellow would work with my skin tone, I am pretty darn pale. I blame it on the Irish in my blood.
