I just got back from a beautiful hike in a south kingston forest! It was a three mile hike and I spotted a rare lady slipper and a lone deer. I was inspired by the magical look it had. It was a bit misty, the sky was covered with clouds and it made the forest a bit dark. Everything was still wet and dewey. The trees were enormous and their trunks were all black because the were wet. OH and marsh ferns, everywhere. They made it look almost tropical the way they were covering every inch of ground at some points. We have had so much rain in the past few weeks, that everything is just green and plush. It was great to get out and get some fresh air, what a perfect day for it, because it was cool and there weren't too many mosquitos out.
On another note: Yesterday I made bias cut dress! It's actually just a pre dress but I must say it's absolutely fantastic the way it hugs the body. For those of you who don't know what a bias cut dress is here is a description:
A bias cut garment is cut “on the bias,” which essentially means diagonally. Because they are cut diagonally, bias cut garments have a very different look from ordinary garments, even when the same basic pattern or shape is used. Bias cut garments tend to cling to a woman’s curves more than clothing that is cut normally. Many women love the delicate, graceful flow of a finely made bias cut skirt or dress.
SO there is your little lesson for the day! Some of the most beautiful and best fitting dresses are bias cut, and you will find that there is nothing else like a nice fitting bias cut garment. They do require more fabric which means more money but, if you want it to fit like a dream, it's worth the little extra.
I should have a picture of this by tomorrow!
