Sakura and Anglaise Changeable Silk

[aimeekitty]

I got some changeable silk taffeta downtown today. (You can see it below.) It's teal shot with fuchsia! It's going to be for my zone-front anglaise 18th century gown class that I'm taking with Judy. I guess it'll look like a mermaid gown! (or something!) My criteria for the color was that I basically didn't want to get pink (because I'm making two other pink gowns) and Judy thinks I look good in teal.
Check out the weird Japanese candy I got at Marukai... I think it's gummy candy that you make yourself and dye. I was suckered in by the rainbow packaging.


Here's a few full-bloom sakura that I saw near San Pedro street. I actually parked just to get a photo of them. :)

That fabric is nothing short of amazing. I can't wait to see the finished product!

I LOVE the taffeta! It's nice that you can see the color change in the photo, sometimes two-tone fabric doesn't photograph well.

Hoo damn! That fabric looks great! Can't wait to see your progress :)

Excited about tomorrow! Cherry blossom time... do you think it would be really faux pas to wear my pink yukata tomorrow (Its had cherry blossoms on it etc)? I know Yukata are really for SUMMER but... hell, in LA the summer weather will be here uh, today....

If it helps? The candy says "Okekaki Gummi Land" (Top)
"Makes Gummies!" (curved underneath that). I can't quite read the smaller type in the picture (it's a bit small for me in my glasses :X)

LOVE the fabric!
