Emulate Sutton Foster's impeccable 1950s-style Tony evening gown. June 9, 2014 00:35 2 Comments

I only watched half of the Tony Awards this year, so it seems unfair to do my usual award show best dressed list. So. I am doing something different. Sutton Foster's gown was my favorite, the one I'd most like to wear while accepting an award myself. Absolutely. (Do they dress for the Pulitzers? Do they even have a presentation? Mmmmm . . . something for me to check out. Later. And, yes, I do think big!) |

One could get a similar look – and, frankly, in my opinion – an even more beautiful one with Vogue Couturier Design 824. It has a more structured and detailed bodice. And that bolero with its framing collar – wow! I think I'd stick with that luscious fuchsia satin, though. Irrestible. |
 I am so in love with this pattern! |

Wow, now THAT is an adventurous sewing project. I remember my mom making some fancy dresses for my sister and I to wear to a wedding when we were younger, and she was not very pleased with the way her machine and taffeta got along. Since I only have a cheap-o portable machine the size of a hairdryer, I definitely would not attempt this one, but it sure looks pretty!
As for Pulitzers, it looks as if they are awarded at a luncheon, so perhaps fancy dress is not required. It’d still be neat to see an author get really glammed up for the occasion, though. Maybe even force an intern to carry her train…

A handsome intern.
