Making a New Zipper Dress

Published: November 20th 2016, 4:09:47 pm

I've been wanting to do a flapperish version of my zipper dress for a while now so when I was hired to create an act for an immersive theatre piece set in the 1930s, this seemed like a perfect opportunity. 

My hope is to make this act one I can use a lot. There are a lot of 20's/gatsby/jazz age shows and events these days and this would be a great way to bring a new twist to a classsic 20's act. I'm making the dress more 30s than 20s but most people can't tell the difference and 30's is a bit more flattering anyway. The show has a two week run, so I think that'll give me a chance to perform it enough to really work out all the kinks. So once I get a video, it should be easy to get booked around.

Of course, I have to make the damn thing first.
