August: Osage County

 
             Date: Fall 2012

Steve is bothering Jean and finds out about her smoking habits


The two dresses   are the character Jean's.  The plaid dress is from the first act when she and her parents arrive at Violet's house.  The black with lace is her funeral dress that you can see her wearing in the photo above.
For the black dress I found a skirt I liked and sewed on a bodice. I measured the actresses bust and waist, and then made a tube like bodice according to her measurements.  The same is true for the plaid dress except I found a floor length skirt and cut off most of it.  So I now had a mini skirt and about half a yard of the same material to make a bodice and sew it onto the skirt.  The plaid dress has inch wide shoulder straps and the funeral dress has quarter funnel sleeves with lace trim.
