For Almost Alice week...

at Thoughts of a Shieldmaiden, I thought I'd enter the "Alice" doll dress I made.

I drafted the pattern myself... well, actually I based it off of a few of these patterns... and made it up. 

Very accurate looking, no? 

Fall Trend Alert: Velvet!

I was sooo excited when I read about this in a magazine somewhere. And a week or so later I saw this in the J Crew catalog:

 Velvet Ruby Jacket; $168

Gorgeous, yes? It comes in four colors, one of which is green:

Problem is, I don't know how I would wear it. :( And I don't think I would pay $168 to have it hang in my closet. *grin* But the thought is nice.
