Fabulous Present from Sue Cox
Sue said she saw this outfit and thought of me.
I can't imagine why--can you? Hee--because it's perfect, of course! The colors are just fabulous, and she knew my brain would be buzzing with ideas for this. I think it's a costume--not intended as an actual item of clothing to wear over and over. So I'm thinking there's some altering in the future--I haven't gotten that far yet. I laundered it to soften it up, and now I'm thinking about what might come next.
Thank you, Sue!

Those colors are beautiful! I can't wait to see what you come up with.
my heart is going pitter patter!
Fantastic outfit! I look forward to seeing how you make it "you".
We need a photo with the outfit on, then I can imagine stuff.
My altered clothes aren't very exciting yet. I think it might be because I am not excited by what I am buying. It will be interesting to see what ensues. At the moment I am kind of making stuff that I will just wear around at home. Better than what I usually wear but nothin' special.
I am excited about the dresslets that I bought fabric for.
Oh, you lucky lady! What fun you are going to have with this one!
those are perfect for you! love those colors too!
Beautiful indeed! The question is....what will you do with them?
I can't wait!

The style, fabric and colors remind me of clothing that women in India wear.
I look forward to seeing the wonderful creations you will make with them.
Wow, that is really a fun outfit. Like everyone else, I'm anxious to see what you come up with.

While I'm thinking of it, have you ever seen Kantha Embroidery from India? It uses a simple running stitch. Older, gently worn saaris are layered together thick enough to recycle into a quilt.
The kantha embroidery designs are stitched over the top of the quilt. Examples are easy to find on Google Images. Very colorful, creative and inspiring for future projects, perhaps?
HI believe that's a salwar kameez dupatta or Punjabi Suit, an Indian outfit. Not a costume at all, just regular clothing, if you're Indian. Of course, it's a particularly fetching and festive one. I love the metallic paint!
I didn't mean to say that this is a costume because of the way it looks; it seems like a costume because the fabric is stiff (even after laundering) and it's not very sturdily sewn together--it wouldn't stand up to heavy wear or repeated laundering. That's what I meant--I know it's a traditional Indian garment, but I just don't think this particular one was meant for everyday wear.
