My latest bit of upcycling. The white fabric came from some old shirts that needed repurposing. Last week I came home from the Gloucester event with a new dress - a decidedly rare occurrence. I knew when I bought the dress that I might well want a petticoat for it. Then at the weekend I found out that we are going to be performing at Stroud Goodwill Evening on Friday night, and I wanted to wear the new dress, and I felt the urgent need for the petticoat.
And here we are. Quite a lot of hand sewing later. I like that it's somewhat irregular.
I seem to be being a bit more overtly femme at the moment. Although I'll always be a scruffy sort of goblin, I might on occasion be a scruffy goblin in a nice dress and petticoats. As a much younger human I was more overtly gender fluid, moving between very distinct kinds of gender presentation, depending on mood. As I seem to be going through a bit of a reboot period at the moment it will be interesting to see whether any more of that comes back.
Part of this is definitely a consequence of gigging. It's good to be visually striking and more theatrical, and we've all been digging in with the performance kit this year. James has really gone for it, and that's been a real inspiration for me.
