Louise Models the Berber Soepboer Colour-In Dress

April 1, 2010

Louise came over today for the moment of reckoning, and not only did she love the dress, but it fit her beautifully. It was cold outside, and not particularly sunny, but she was absolutely up for the challenge of modeling the dress outside, so I have numerous wind-blown pics, like the one below: And I [...]

In Progress (Day 9): Berber Soepboer Colour-In Dress (or, “The Day the Dress Was Done”)

March 28, 2010

I hesitate to say it (because I can hardly believe it myself), but the dress is . . . finished!? *gulps nervously* I’m sure I’ll have a few touch-up moments in the next couple of days, but once Louise tries it on this Thursday and gives it the thumbs-up (or down, whichever the case may [...]

In Progress (Day 8): Berber Soepboer Colour-In Dress

March 28, 2010

I didn’t post any photos yesterday as the progress that was made on Day 7 was mostly fill-in and very tiny detail work that, while contributing towards the finished product, didn’t really register visually as a marked step forward.

Do you remember that black and white, retro-60′s print dress I ordered for Louise from the Netherlands . . . that came with its own pack of bright textile markers for coloring? You don’t? Here, let me refresh you on the topic: From Berber Soepboer’s website: “The Colour-In Dress’ is a simple dress with a [...]

Berber Soepboer Colour-In Dress

August 19, 2009

So, I first read about this dress on Marin’s blog, where she often features personal tidbits and unusual items to go along with her running commentary on the state of the knitting union.
