		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, in theater, you need a specific period shoe and you don&#8217;t have the time to order it from the internet, the money to order it from the internet, or an actor who wears a size you can order from the internet. (In this case, it was an &#8220;all of the above&#8221; scenario &#8211; I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m saving the best for last &#8211; I loved the way this costume turned out! It is, by far, the most wack-a-doodle set of design decisions I&#8217;ve ever made. I really wanted to do a rather prim dress for the Countess, what with how she&#8217;s rich and all. At the same time, there&#8217;s only so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, for the next installment in the series, I&#8217;ll tackle the character of Germaine in Picasso at the Lapin Agile. (Wowza, did that sound pretensious&#8230;) The rough inspiration for the costume was, &#8220;How would Miss Piggy do Steampunk?&#8221; This one is slightly more complex than the Admirer, but still pretty easy to wrangle out of [...]]]></description>

That is my incredibly glamourous life&#8230; That&#8217;s just all the neck action, hankies, and socks for 1776 (now to be known as, &#8220;That show with too [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, Laura said she was looking forward to a demo on how I made the Frock Coats for 1776.  I used a pattern. (What?! Missa? Are you feeling ok??) It&#8217;s not that I&#8217;m not all about cheating, or being creative, or drafting patterns. It&#8217;s just that it easier to a pattern that already exists and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have I mentioned that my show has, by and large, come from Goodwill? Yes, indeed. One of the characters in 1776 is &#8220;a courier&#8221;. (No, really, that&#8217;s all they call him in the script.) He&#8217;s an army courier who brings messages in to the continental congress. I need him to look like he&#8217;s a) military [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oddly enough, I needed 19 pair of Colonial britches to go with my 25 Colonial vests. (Because I had much better luck renting britches than vests, not because I let anyone go pantless.) This is very similar to the trick I used for the Oliver! knickers, but they need a slimmer fit and different length. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I needed 25 Colonial-looking vests for 1776. Because I wasn&#8217;t sure that I&#8217;d get round to making a coat for everyone, I wanted vests that weren&#8217;t faked out in the back, and I needed them to have structure and to be long enough to cover the obviously modern fly fronts on the britches I was [...]]]></description>
