A member of TFS named ' As you like it ' downloaded the pattern , adjusted the pieces for measurement and tried to make the Lee McQueen kimono , but found it impossible , despite the fact that she is a professional dressmaker .

I believe Showstudio put up some adjustments to the pattern , or so I read somewhere .

It's a super piece , whether or not .

yes, there definately does seem to be some liberties taken in the construction. a big part of it is the styling of the photo as well.

You'd recognise that better than me .

Anyways , thanks for the pics , I am a member on the site as I find it always to be very interesting if not controversial - witness the interview with Lee McQueen just over a year ago - hilarious AND ' Get on down and be dirty ' at the same time , especially in his answer to Kate Moss' question !!!!!

was thinking about trying the yohji jkt...

 

[travolta]

who wants to attempt the galliano?

 

[fab_fifties_fille]

thanks for posting that travolta

These patterns would even be great to make up in a simple toile material, I wonder how difficult they'd be...no harm in trying I suppose. The galliano looks the most difficult...I'd have loved to see those people make them up start to finish.

 

[travolta]

the yohji one doesn't look that bad. i guess precision is the key, and as far as the more complex...the more mistakes should be allowed!

 

[fab_fifties_fille]

perhaps 'being mistaken' could be part of the vision human error

 

[softgrey]

i would only be interested in making the yohji piece because it is the only one i am interested in wearing...

 

[travolta]

i can't wait to see the junya submissions and the final shoot. but, yes...that yohji...it would be worth trying!
