Mademoiselle
Marionette’s Hurley Burley Christmas 2019
If you are of a certain age you might remember a dress
that took the world of Fashion by storm. Now I am no Versace but here is my
effort to create Mademoiselle Marionette a ‘Hurley Burley; Gown
Evening
Gown Material
I was given some Black Velvet style pleated material. I
thought this would be ideal for making an Evening Gown. I cut this in half for the
Front and Back.
Hurley
Hem
As always I start with a Hem. However in this case I am only
Hemming one Side along the Length.
Shoulder
Line Pinned
Using the Rough Template of the Marionette that I have I
Pinned the material. I am making this an off the Shoulder Gown.
Therefore when I made the Diagonal Line I did not start
in the Corner but about a centimetre across.
Shoulder
Line Hemmed
Once I had the angle I wanted I then Hemmed all around
the rest of the material. That done I repeated the process with the Back. I
used the Front part as a guide.
The above photograph shows the Front piece on top of the
other. If I used the Template for the Back the material would be sloping the
wrong way.
Hurley
Pin Gown
The final part of making the Gown was to add the Safety
Pins. This I did at roughly equal intervals. More can be added if required but
as I do not have the actual Marionette I decided on caution.
Cape
Hemmed
With all the gaps in the Gown I decided the Marionette
would need a Cape otherwise she might get Frozen solid and not be able to get to bed.
I took some more of the same material and this time Hemmed all the way around.
Cape
Corded
After Hemming the material I Folded over the Top. I then
Hemmed this making sure that there was a gap. I found a piece of nice Cord and
threaded it through.
Hurley
Ensemble
I now have a lovely Evening Gown and Cape set for
Mademoiselle that will cope with any kind of Hurley Burley Christmas Festivities.
If I am lucky my friend Cayt might take a photograph of the Marionette wearing the Outfit not just a Kitchen Roll with a face drawn on lol.
