Yes, this is quite overdue, see Week 9’s post for semi-explanation.
Due to fabric limitations I wasn’t able to totally abide by my original sketch, but I am nonetheless happy with the outcome. It’s faintly deco-y with all the angles, which was unexpected.
So, not like, totally “air” I guess. But in my opinion the winning look wasn’t either. I decided to go barefoot, ’cause that is my personal view of Mercury (never been a big fan of the wing’d sandals), who was some of the primary inspiration. Fleet of foot one cannot be in heels.
Problems:
- The undershirts should have been longer to hit the hip better.
- Pants don’t fit perfectly, but they’re comfortable, so I’m calling it a draw.
- Should have totes made a hat, but was worried about being too aviator.
