i couldn't think of a better way to commemorate my 100th post than with a new dress and a rockin show to swoon over. we've been thrust into indian summer here in sf, so yesterday i drew all the blinds and set to work on a two-tone dress. 
the mint is a thick cotton, and i believe the black to be rayon. the bodice is lined, to hide all the seams, and i decided to hand-stitch the front closed. initially i wanted to fold down the corners to mimic a collar, but liked the way they looked sticking up. the skirt is the same pattern i made for the tulips skirts, 4 sets of inverted pleats.
the show i speak of, and where i debuted my dress, is the dirtbombs at the rickshaw stop. love the venue, genuinely liked the opening bands (ty segall & the sermon), spotted kelly stoltz in the audience, was right next to ben blackwell when he set his drum kit in the middle of the crowd, and walked away with one of his drumsticks. the dirtbombs killed. they played like it was a hometown show, i felt like i wasnt in san francisco anymore, maybe because i've never been to that caliber of a rock show... i shook mick's hand, the lead singer, walked home starry-eyed and grinning. i love small shows... and now i'm off to the outside lands fest to see the dead weather, band of horses, modest mouse, lucinda williams and tenacious D ;)
