[quote=Taeriel] even demonstrated how Inara's skirt was constructed and wrapped. ( Her dress from the fight scene with the Operative at the training house.)
My mouth is hanging open right now...
*JEALOUS!!*
Sorry, I just made this dress this year and was totally baffled. (pics here, if you like: < http://www.pbase.com/karaya/masquerade_ball&page=1>)
Thanks for putting up your thoughts on the Maidenhead dress. Really helpful. Could I get your email?

It looks like you did a fabulous job on Inara's dress, especially on the bodice! I'm sure it must have been very challenging to get the pattern right on that part. Wow, and it looks like you got exactly the right clasp on the skirt as well. You even have the jewlery. Very cool!
If it makes you feel better, the archivist said that they were confused by that skirt as well! When it first arrived, they had a hard time figuring out how it was suppose to go together to be worn. Once they figured it out, they made sure to document it with notes and plenty of pictures.
Sure, I'll pm you with my email...
Shameless - the name was a hard 'c'. However, now I'm wondering if I might have gotten mixed up on it. I'd written the name down in my notes on the River page, but looking through my pictures, I see the brand name on Inara's pumps and it looks like "Capezio". I wonder if that's what I heard, and I mistakenly thought she was refering to River's boots at the time... possible.
On the topic of River's boots, though, I was at the BSG Razor screening last night and the person sitting next to me was wearing a pair of boots that looked very similar. When I asked her about the brand, she refered to them as her "River boots"! The brand was "BC". She bought them at a store called "Bunny's" in Santa Cruz about 2.5 years ago. They looked really good!
edit: I found the brand: here's an example of their boots, though I don't see exactly what we're looking for. http://www.dealtime.com/xDN-Shoes--bc_footwear-sh_shoe_types_boots~PG-

Someone asked me about my pictures of of this dress from the display a few years ago. I've gone ahead and posted them online at
