At opening night at Home Sewn at the Dowse, the crowd was quite as sumptuous as the exhibits. Here’s some that I particularly loved.

This enchanting pair even held hands in the fashion show. Femmes represent!

Even if the orange backdrop wasn’t the best idea on my part, these frocks (and a hat) were irresisitble.

  Who needs an orange backdrop when you are both ON FIRE??

A gentler moment with two of my friends – two dresses and a cape that they made. Amazing fit and detail.

  This fellow blogger apologized because her coat was “made by a friend.” No apology necessary!

Three ravishing gowns, each made by the wearer. Hand-embroidered silk flowers there on the right.

I love how she went ahead and started the future with this green silk dress that she made from a Cybele pattern, her purple hair, and the Rubik’s Cube handbag.
