Museum Game Results 2

How the Museum Game is played.
Thanks to Michelle for this dress description!

The description of the bustle really through me off, but V&A doesn't actually have a back view for the dress, so we'll pretend I got it absolutely right!

Museum Game Results 1

I've been on egg shells trying to sketch the dresses from the descriptions provided for my museum game  w/o coming across the dresses in my everyday browsing on my museum sites. Luckily I came across Jenni's real dress on Pinterest after I'd finished the sketch, so here they are. Thanks so much Jenni!! and Michelle, I'm as done as I'm going to be with yours so you can go ahead and send me the dress or I'll find it on my own:).


Here's the dress "Brique" by Poiret from the V&A. Click to read the description I worked from. Turns out I had it in my own research cache the whole time!
And here's what I came up with! Pretty close I think. Go me!!

Let's play a game!!!

Alright friends! I invented this game and I want to play it! BUT I need your help! Go to either http://collections.vam.ac.uk/ or http://metmuseum.org/collections/search-the-collections or another museum's site w/ a clothing collection and find a dress with a very detailed description that preferably mentions material, line details, type of sleeve etc. As much info as possible. Then post the description along w/ garment name (evening gown etc.) and the date in a comment. I'll do a rendering of the article and see how close it is! I came up with this game a couple of months ago but haven't thought to ask you guys to help me play it yet! Does this sound fun? To me it does!

Also, I WON REGION VIII KCACTF BEST COSTUME DESIGN!!! So I'll be going to D.C. in April to compete and hopefully win! Do you think I'll ever stop rehearsing my PowerPoint presentation script during my commute? Probs not.
