PROOF!

I have actually been sewing on Pinkie so here I offer proof...

The bodice, so far... which just needs a little finishing to the binding...



And everything flopped on the floor...
... to give you kind of an idea of where it's going...


And lastly, a close-up of the fabric...
... with the trim and possible fabric for the underskirt...
It's similar to the pink shot taffeta that [personal profile] jubilima posted for her (possible) pink Venetian, and I'd really prefer a green silk to bring out the green in the trim, but it'll do if I can't find what I want in green. 

Let me just state for the record that the online pix looked much more salmon pink than fuchsia. I never would have bought fuchsia and it was darn-near impossible to find any fabric of the same pink to match it. I needed it for binding and hemming and sleeve lining, etc. but this one was too purple, and that one was too dark, and those were too whatever! Very frustrating. I finally ended up paying $20 for one yard of this china silk *cough* which is almost as much as I paid for the whole 4 yards of the gold/pink sari! Sheesh. But it does match perfectly. :-)

Holy Cow! that's pink! But very, very cool. It's Barbie's Venetian ;-) (What are you making Ken?)

This Appeals To My Inner Raccoon!

The Barbie Venetian - so fabulous! Really that is too much fun for words... The pink brigade is going to look so amazing! And I love the name you've given this - "Pinkie" - makes me giggle inside every time you say it. :>

There is always a reason to wear pink. I love it.
