Five Spaces Left on "American High Style" Tour and Lunch!

Happy Sunday, everyone! I have five spaces left for our Brooklyn Museum tour and lunch that I need to fill by the end of the day tomorrow. A group of us will be going on June 19th at noon. As a bonus, my teacher Sharon (who helped me make my body double dress form and is teaching me draping) will do a fifteen minute Q&A at the lunch! She'll answer any sewing-related questions we have, like how to recreate looks from the exhibit, like maybe this amazing Charles James "Butterfly" gown featured above! But you must act fast, friends! I need to hear from you by midnight tomorrow, the 31st. E-mail me at gertie [at] blogforbettersewing [dot] com. The cost for the one-hour tour, catered lunch, and Q&A session is $40.75 a person.

  3. From Jessica in Chicago:
    I STRONGLY encourage you to sign up and go. I went when I was in New York last month (right after it opened), and it was WONDERFUL. If you can go with fellow sewers, you will be able to have wonderful dialogue about construction.

  4. I'll be there in spirit... from across the seas... from the land Down Under. Have fun! I am soooo jealous! PS: I'll be in NY for my honeymoon in October. Can you do it all again? :) Monique xx

  6. I saw the Butterfly dress at the Chic Chicago exhibit a year or two ago, and it truly is amazing. They had a miniature version of it as well, that you could use to study the construction. I am still in awe of that dress.
