Catan Dress
We spent the afternoon playing our favorite board game, Settlers of Catan. If you haven't played it, you're missing out on a lot of fun. Every time you play the board is different, so you never get bored. We have two of the games so that we can make our board big enough to really get into the game. I used most of the hexagons from the two games for my dress today. The blue water tiles made up the skirt (except where we had godets of the stone tiles near the bottom.) The corset bodice used the dark green wood tiles while the trim at the collar used the red brick tiles. The off-shoulder puff sleeves were made from the light green sheep tiles. This dress took up the entire table so it was difficult to photograph it straight on. I couldn't get high enough and far enough away. However, this angle turned out the best with the limited options open to me. This is a very Renaissance barmaid dress. Add a petticoat and I'll be ready for the fair!
