Pre-Conference Technical i18n Training
This year's internationalization conference kicks off on Wednesday, March 14th with a, stand-alone, full-day technical internationalization training.
In this intense i18n training class, attendees will work together to build an understanding of how to create world-ready products that can be made specific for any locale. In doing so, attendees will discover how to streamline their internationalization process to eliminate issues with brand inconsistency across locales, technical difficulties when looking through code, misinterpretations of cultural issues, and problems with simultaneous worldwide product releases. This class also presents a great opportunity for professionals in the global development industries to connect and discuss best practices.
This seminar requires some basic knowledge of Java and targets:
- Software engineers
- Software development managers
- Internationalization and localization managers
- Test engineering managers
- QA managers
- And anyone facing ongoing software globalization and localization challenges
At the end of this class, software developers and managers will use the i18n concepts they learned and work those concepts in actual code in a pragmatic approach through simple exercises in Java. The principles used in Java can be easily applied to other programming languages.
When: Wednesday, March 14th, 2012
Where: Techmart Center, Santa Clara, CA
Cost: $499 if registered by February 19th, $599, if registered after February 19th

Session Descriptions
Session A1: Internationalization Customer Case Study
It is challenging to change the course of a large and extremely active development team to support internationalization. In this interactive session, Tex Texin, Chief Globalization Officer at Rearden Commerce and Nico Posner of LinkedIn will discuss how they have worked to analyze, architect and implement extensive internationalization work at their companies.
Session B1: ROI: Right On In (to the C-Suite!)
Why is ROI for internationalization still a thorn in the side of product and engineering managers at many software companies? What challenges do they face when defining and measuring it? How can service partners best facilitate the ROI exercise for their customers? What works and what doesn't? Panelists will answer these questions and more as they engage the audience in direct discussion.
Session A/B2: Integrating Internationalization with Localization
Most of the time, we're internationalizing toward a localized release. Yet, we often talk of one without the other and there are many grey tasks in between. In this session we'll give examples from Cisco's globalization efforts with TelePresence, Intel's work supporting globalization, and Lingoport's experience integrating internationalization services with localization activities for faster time to market.
Session A/B3: Demo Derby
Fast and furious, demo derby participants will be limited to 10 minutes to demonstrate their technologies. We've chosen several software applications that provide productivity power to i18n and L10n. Expect quick action and not much PowerPoint. Time will provide for Q&A for each presenter. This is a great way to catch up on what's new in software for your profession.
Session A4: Internationalization Scorecard
Internationalization leaders from Adobe, Zynga, Autodesk and Lingoport worked together and individually to build an i18n scorecard system so that managers and engineers on development teams would have guidance and ratings for their applications global readiness in summary presentation form. This has proven to be an effective way to monitor and implement internationalization focus. Panelists will present how they have implemented the scorecard and the results.
Session B4: Dynamic Language Delivery for Adobe's Mobile Applications
Adobe's Globalization team will present their recently developed Community Translation and Dynamic Language Deployment technologies, which, in combination with Adobe's localization framework, have made it possible to deliver updates of localized assets to users on applications installed on a variety of mobile platforms.
Session A5: Building an Internationalization Department
A powerful approach and commitment to software globalization can include building an internationalization team that works among different development endeavors to guide and assist with internationalization and localization engineering concerns. In this session we'll discuss how those teams are built, skills needed, commitment from management, how teams are received and the results from their activities.
Session B5: Optimizing Content for Localization
Good quality content that is optimized for search engines is key to the success of a localized product, website or software application in a global market. This session dives into the reasons why poor source content hinders the localization process and what the cost implications can be. Knowing these challenges, we'll review key best practices and checklists to optimize content before translation begins.
Session B6: Twitter: Building i18n Tools to Assist Localization, Translation Quality and Community Engagement
Twitter users all over the world have helped us translate Twitter into their languages. This community model has been part of our translation process since 2009 – and it has been growing stronger in the past year, fueled by our translation console – Twitter's Translation Center, built by our engineers to assist localization across different clients and to be used by translators, moderators, Twitter employees, including engineers. We believe this model allows wsers incorporate cultural and linguistic factors based upon the uniqueness of our terminology. It is a process where all translations are submitted by and voted on by the community.
Session A6: Mobile Apps and Games Globalization Panel
Mobile apps and games have their own accelerated global impact as smart phones, tablets and computers blur their distinctions. Yet, mobile apps are by nature customer facing and localization demand is high. Products range from games to front ends to sophisticated back end systems. Panelists will discuss business efforts and technical processes for internationalizing games and apps.
Session A/B7: (Panel Discussion) Internationalization and Localization Process – How to Make Your Organization Global Aware
Though we may work at companies with different degrees of global focus, it's still important to build and emphasize global thinking among developers, managers, sales and marketing. There remains resistence, uncertain requirements, and uncoordinated directives that can cause expensive release delays (or cancelations) and hold back winning new customers. In this session, the presenters will share what's worked (and hasn't) in championing and delivering global products.

What's New
Pumpkinseed Font Family by Three Islands Press
The tale of Pumpkinseed began with a bit of hand-printing I noticed on the dinner menu at a local restaurant. I took a menu home for future reference.
Several months later, some similar hand-lettering on another dinner menu caught my eye. I became a sort of connoisseur of hand-done menu lettering.
After tweaking and adjusting a few of these menu-inspired (uppercase) characters, I placed them -- along with some other designs -- in an online Type in Progress survey. They won. So I finished the caps, drew out the lower case from scratch, created three weights and oblique styles.
The result: Pumpkinseed, a full-featured casual hand-lettering face. Comes in Light, Medium, and Heavy.

Charles Krauthammer: Obama's turn on the ropes
Fate is fickle, power cyclical, and nothing is new under the sun. Especially in Washington, where after every election the losing party is sagely instructed to confess sin, rend garments, and rethink its principles lest it go the way of the Whigs. And where the victor is hailed as the new Caesar, facing an open road to domination.
Fate is fickle, power cyclical, and nothing is new under the sun. Especially in Washington, where after every election the losing party is sagely instructed to confess sin, rend garments, and rethink its principles lest it go the way of the Whigs. And where the victor is hailed as the new Caesar, facing an open road to domination.
And where Barack Obama, already naturally inclined to believe his own loftiness, graciously accepted the kingly crown and proceeded to ride his reelection success to a crushing victory over the GOP at the fiscal cliff, leaving a humiliated John Boehner & Co. with nothing but naked tax hikes.
Thus emboldened, Obama turned his inaugural address into a left-wing dream factory, from his declaration of war on global warming (on a planet where temperatures are the same as 16 years ago and in a country whose carbon-dioxide emissions are at a 20-year low) to the invention of new entitlements - e.g., universal preschool - for a country already drowning in debt.
To realize his dreams, Obama sought to fracture and neutralize the congressional GOP as a prelude to reclaiming the House in 2014. This would enable him to fully enact his agenda in the final two years of his presidency, usually a time of lame-duck paralysis. Hail the Obama juggernaut.
Well, that story - excuse me, narrative - lasted exactly six months. The Big Mo is gone.
It began with the sequester. Obama never believed the Republicans would call his bluff and let it go into effect. They did.
Taken by surprise, Obama cried wolf, predicting the end of everything we hold dear if the sequester was not stopped. It wasn't. Nothing happened.
Highly embarrassed, and determined to indeed make (bad) things happen, the White House refused Republican offers to give it more discretion in making cuts. Bureaucrats were instructed to inflict maximum pain from minimal cuts, as revealed by one memo from the Agriculture Department demanding agency cuts that the public would feel.
Things began with the near-comical cancellation of White House tours and ended with not-so-comical airline delays. Obama thought furious passengers would blame the GOP. But isn't the executive branch in charge of these agencies? Who thinks that a government spending $3.6 trillion a year can't cut 2 percent without furloughing air-traffic controllers?
Looking not just incompetent at managing budgets but cynical for deliberately injuring the public welfare, the administration relented. Congress quickly passed a bill giving Obama reallocation authority to restore air-traffic control. Having previously threatened to veto any such bill, Obama caved. He signed.
Not exactly Appomattox, but coming immediately after Obama's spectacular defeat on gun control, it marked an administration that had lost its "juice," to paraphrase a charming question at the president's news conference.
For Obama, gun control was a political disaster. He invested capital. He went on a multicity tour. He paraded grieving relatives. And got nothing. An assault-weapons ban - a similar measure had passed the Congress 20 years ago - lost 60-40 in a Senate where Democrats control 55 seats. Obama failed even to get mere background checks.
All this while appearing passive, if not helpless, on the world stage. On Syria, Obama was nervously trying to erase the WMD red line he had so publicly established. On Benghazi, he stonewalled accusations that State Department officials wishing to testify are being blocked.
He was even taking heat for the Boston bombings. Every day brings another revelation of signals missed beforehand. And his post-bombing pledge to hunt down those responsible was mocked by the scandalous Mirandizing of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, gratuitously shutting down information from the one person who knows more than anyone about possible still-existent explosives, associates, trainers, future plans, etc.
Now, the screw will undoubtedly turn again. If immigration reform passes, Obama will be hailed as the comeback kid, and a new "Obama rising" narrative proclaimed.
This will overlook the fact that immigration reform has little to do with Obama and everything to do with GOP panic about the Hispanic vote. In fact, Obama has been asked by congressional negotiators to stay away, so polarizing a figure has he become.
Nonetheless, whatever happens, the screw will surely turn again, if only because of media boredom. But that's the one constant of Washington political life: There are no straight-line graphs. We live from inflection point to inflection point.
And we've just experienced one. From king of the world to dead in the water in six months. Quite a ride.

By Leonard Fehskens, The Open Group
In the second part of this series, I examined the effect of our definition of enterprise on how we think about EA.
To close, I'll consider the implications of a more inclusive concept of enterprise on the future of Enterprise Architecture.
The current cohort of EAs who have grown accustomed to a misnamed and narrowly focused discipline will eventually retire. They will be replaced, over time, by EAs who learn the discipline in academic programs rather than by making it up on the job. They will chuckle in amusement at a "body of knowledge" that is like that of medicine before germ theory, geology before plate tectonics, or astronomy before heliocentrism. These programs are being created now, and academics are not interested in teaching a discipline with an irrational and inconsistent vocabulary. They don't want to have to explain to their students that it is for "historical reasons" that "enterprise means the IT part of a business."
The focus of an academic program on Enterprise Architecture will necessarily reflect the prevailing concept of enterprise. The commonly used model of Enterprise Architecture being about people, process and technology provides a useful context for considering this influence.
An IT-centric concept of Enterprise Architecture, like the one currently espoused by most of the community, will emphasize the role of information technology in supporting the needs of the business. It will include just enough about business and people to enable practitioners to address the goal of "aligning IT with the business."
A concept of Enterprise Architecture based on the idea of enterprise as business will emphasize business, especially business processes, as they are the primary locus of technological support. It will include just enough about information technology and people to enable practitioners to address the goal of making IT a strategic asset for businesses.
A concept of Enterprise Architecture based on the idea of enterprise as human endeavor will emphasize the role of people, and be built around the sociology and psychology of individuals, groups and organizations, especially leadership and management as means to achieving organizational goals. It will devote some attention to business as a particular kind of enterprise, but will look at other forms of enterprise and their unique concerns as well. Finally, it will consider technology in its most general sense as the means of instantiating the infrastructure necessary to realize an enterprise. There will be a lot of harumphing about how the conventional wisdom is correct by definition because it is what is practiced by the majority of practitioners, but there is a noisy and insistent contingent that will continue to point out that the world is not flat and the sun does not go around the earth. Only time will tell, but however you measure it, over 90% of most organizations is "not-IT", and the IT-centric perspective is simply so imbalanced that it can't ultimately prevail.
Adopting a broader concept of enterprise consistent with its meaning in common English usage does not in any way invalidate any of the current applications or interpretations of Enterprise Architecture. It simply allows the application of architectural thinking to other kinds of purposeful human activity besides commercial business organizations to be subsumed under the rubric "Enterprise Architecture". All entities that are enterprises by these more restrictive definitions clearly fit unchanged into this more inclusive definition of enterprise.
Len Fehskens is Vice President of Skills and Capabilities at The Open Group. He is responsible for The Open Group's activities relating to the professionalization of the discipline of enterprise architecture. Prior to joining The Open Group, Len led the Worldwide Architecture Profession Office for HP Services at Hewlett-Packard. He majored in Computer Science at MIT, and has over 40 years of experience in the IT business as both an individual contributor and a manager, within both product engineering and services business units.

The Emma Outfit
Here's the inspiration:
And the Gertie-fied version.
Not bad, eh? Guys, I love this outfit. (Not to toot my own horn.) The blouse was made from a 1960 pattern and the skirt is BurdaStyle's Jenny (which I've made before in black with suspenders). If I had to live with only one skirt pattern for the rest of my life, it would be this one. No joke. To get the bow version, I made the waistband a little narrower (so it came to 2" wide, to be exact). The bow pattern was easy enough to make - it's just two rectangles.
The fabric I used is the "Fancy Italian RPL" from Gorgeous Fabrics. Oh, how I love this fabric. It has a sort of crepe-like texture to it, and it's both comfy and flattering. I lined the skirt in Ambiance rayon lining, and I cut it on the bias. I read that this can be helpful if your garment fabric has some stretch to it, but it really just made the lining very hard to work with. I don't think I'll be doing that again. If you want your lining to stretch, it's easier just to buy a stretch lining, in my opinion.
Here's the lining. I stitched some lace to the bottom for extra prettiness. It's like a creamsicle!
The blouse was made from this lovely pattern, McCalls 5226.
It was kind of hard to fit, but it turned out well in the end . . . aside from the fact that the bust darts are a smidge too high. (Yes, I should have made a muslin!) I actually lined the blouse too, since the rayon I used was a little on the sheer side. I used a rayon lining matched to my skin tone, and followed these excellent instructions for quick-lining. I love how professional it looks to attach the lining to the facing. It became a sort of underlining/lining hybrid since I stitched the sleeve hems to the lining.
I love the look on my face here in this next shot. Yeah, I'm wearing an orange skirt with a bow on it. Wanna make somethin' of it?
And here you can see the skirt length better.
That's it, folks! I've also made another blouse and skirt in the meantime (both 40s-styled) which I suppose I'll photograph next weekend. (It's so hard to photograph anything during the workweek!) This week, it's back to the grind on my the background dress - with muslin number two!

Beautiful! I see bow skirts and dresses in my future. :)ReplyDelete
you just look amazing and make me want to be able to pull off orange clothes!ReplyDelete
Looove eeeeet. Waaaant eeeet. What a great outfit. Sometimes it's hard to achieve classiness and cheerfulness at the same time, but that's why we have Emma Pillsbury for inspiration!ReplyDelete
I love your retro hemline but I think I'll keep making my Jennys above the knees. Long skirts are too conspicuous where I live, plus I wear mostly ballet flats so I can't pull off the '50s movie star shins.
Not only can toot your own horn but I'll toot with you. That is one gorgeous outfit!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 15, 2010 at 8:08 AM
Oh my gosh. More absolutely inspiring and gorgeous dressmaking. How do you fit it all in alongside working full time?ReplyDelete
What a flattering outfit! Great job! But check out the view C in the pattern envelope ... is it me, or does she look like her torso's on backwards? lol.ReplyDelete
Hey Gertie, what a lovely outfit you've got! It really suits you, and that orange is gorgeous! Well done!ReplyDelete
Fantastic! I've only recently started watching Glee on DVD and I have to agree with you that Emma has the BEST outfits! You've done a wonderful job!ReplyDelete
Wow! The orange skirt is just lovely--Super flattering on you. I love the care you have taken with your linings on the skirt and blouse-pretty on the inside and outside!ReplyDelete
Wow - what a wonderful and cheerful outfit to wake up to this morning. Just what I needed!ReplyDelete
I love the whole outfit!ReplyDelete
P.S. I am so mad at you for pointing out Glee. I am now officially obsessed with the show and *Emma's clothing*. All I think about is creating an Emma-esque wardrobe for myself. Seriously though, thanks for the inspiration!
Ah, it looks so good! And I LOVE the inside pic of the blouse. Is it sad that I'm jealous of how awesome your interiors look?ReplyDelete
I know I always say this with your new projects, but WOW!!!! Seriously girl: between the amazing color and pattern choices and the impeccable fit, I'm astounded by your mad sewing skills. I just love how this looks! Plus, I'm geeking out over the Threads article on lining; I've got to start knocking off some of my springtime skirt projects and this will be really handy I think.ReplyDelete
Last week I picked up an 80s pattern for a high waisted pencil skirt with a bow that reminded me of you. ;) I thought "this is such a Gertie skirt"! (I think I may have actually said as much to my mom too... haha!) I'm planning on making it up in some green linen...

Great! I usually don't line my clothes (I never made any coat yet and can't be bothered to line 'normal' clothes), but Hell! this cream lace finishing is something, I'd love to learn how to line properly, so thank you for the links. This outfit must rock with black heels!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 15, 2010 at 8:56 AM
Toot away. Your outfit rocks.ReplyDelete
The inside of your blouse looks amazing!
WOW! I love Emma's look but your ensemble is off the charts! I love the colors and fabrics you chose and the details of lace and lining make it even more feminine and tailored. You are definitely rockin' the pencil shirt thing! You are such an inspiration!ReplyDelete
Pretty, pretty!ReplyDelete
I love the lace inside, it's like a little surprise.
You look gorgeous!
Now I really want to watch Glee. I don't think it's aired here yet, but I'm starting to be very curious!ReplyDelete
You look amazing. I love this outfit. The orange with the polkadots is an excellent combination. Very elegant!
Love the outfit! The skirt fits so well. And your hair looks fantastic.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 15, 2010 at 9:30 AM
Marvelous all around! The bow detail on the skirt is killing me.ReplyDelete
And I just realized something. I'm only now watching old seasons of Ugly Betty, and the woman playing Emma was on that series in the early days! I KNEW I knew her from somewhere.
Love it! The outfit looks really good on you!ReplyDelete
This is such a great outfit! The skirt has come out so well. Actually, I just made a dress from a vintage pattern in almost the same colour with a very similar vibe:ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see the next outfit you've been working on.
It's so fabulous! I just love everything single thing about it. That is the perfect orange color! Za Za Zing! I like your top even better than the Emma Pillsbury inspiration! So fantastic! Love love LOVE it!ReplyDelete
Just beautiful! A perfect rendition of Emma.ReplyDelete
Adorable! I would love to rock that look at work but I fear the pencil skirt.ReplyDelete
One question about wearability: do you have issues with body temperature wearing blouses in fabrics like silk, viscose and rayon rather than cotton? I find I either freeze or, um... "glow" all over the underarms.
- AnonymousMarch 15, 2010 at 10:19 AM
As always, beautiful work! I love the lace detail on the lining.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 15, 2010 at 10:30 AM
fantabulous! The color and the details you put into the lining are sumputous. You have very much revved me up to jump into that Colette skirt patten I purchased a month ago, and have been to chicken to try :o)ReplyDelete
Gertie, you're Emma With Attitude! lol. Thanks for the link to the lining tutorial - will definitely be checking that out.ReplyDelete
I love the lace on the lining - it's funny how little things like that can make you feel so much prettier, even (or maybe especially?) when no one else can see it.
You go, girl! Another stunning outfit!
Oh my this is a stunning outfit!ReplyDelete
I love the lace detail on the slip.
That skirt is simply amazing!
what a great outfit! i love the polka dots with the orange. well chosen!ReplyDelete
it must be so great to wear clothes that fit so well.
I would totally wear that! Am in love with your skirt :)ReplyDelete
Your outfit is better than Emma's!
- AnonymousMarch 15, 2010 at 11:25 AM
cute cute cute cute! and looks even better with your coloring than with emma's. lovely!ReplyDelete
A D O R A B L EReplyDelete
I would wear this outfit to death its so cute, perfect in orange and it would be great in any color.
I just adore the pattern you used for the top.
I'm going to echo everyone else here and say, "Gorgeous, gorgeous! And great fit!" You did a beautiful job, darlin'. Emma would be so proud.ReplyDelete
OMG! It is ADORABLE!!!!!!ReplyDelete
This outfit is so cute! Love it!ReplyDelete
OMG,I love it! That orange fabric is fantastic and it looks great with the polka dots.ReplyDelete
you look stunning! Well done. And that skirt is gorgeous.ReplyDelete
I love Glee and your outfit is tops! Love!ReplyDelete

Lovely! Wonderful job and thank you for showing it to us!ReplyDelete
Lovely job! You almost make me long for a waistline because I LOVE the bow on the skirt! And I'm with Shannon, I'm now hooked on the Emma blog and her clothing.ReplyDelete
So great-and very inspiring, can't wait to get home to my sewing machine! And thanks for the link about the lining. I just bough some sheer turquoise polka dot print fabric for a dress and was wondering how to make it more opaque. Thanks!ReplyDelete
It's fantastic! Love the colour of the skirt.ReplyDelete
Oh I love that skirt so much great job.ReplyDelete
I ADORE THIS OUTFIT SO MUCH! Haha yours looks even better than Emma's, I think! Love the blouse pattern and the skirt's color, everything turned out so perfectly! Great job!ReplyDelete
You look smashing and the orange skirt is to die for! Beautiful work!ReplyDelete
beautiful outfit. I have always wondered about cutting my lining on the bias. Thanks for the heads up.ReplyDelete
This is SO fabulous I cannot even describe. I think you have far surpassed the inspiration outfit. The colors are perfect.ReplyDelete
Oh I do understand that you're pleased! The blouse is really adorable, and I believe you when you say the Jenny skirt would be the one skirt for the rest of your life... No wonder, because it looks great. Please enlighten me about non-stretch fabrics and pencil skirts, if you have any comments to that issue. I'm so scared of making pencil skirts without stretch, but yours looks amazing... And, although I've enjoyed your latest posts, it's nice to see some of your own work again!ReplyDelete
I love that you added lace to the lining! So cute!ReplyDelete
One word: STUNNING! Do tell us how to make the bow. I know, it sounds like a moronic question, but I am obsessed with bows and would love to know your method since everything you make is top notch and gorgeous.ReplyDelete
Just beuatiful. I am inspired. I am a similar shape to you and often wonder if something will suit me. Well, you have shown me everything can look beautiful! thank you.ReplyDelete
Your outfit is adorable and gorgeous. Thank you so much for the links to my blog (The Swelle Life), I hope it provided some alternative entertainment for your lovely readers!ReplyDelete
P.S. I've just begun sewing classes (at last) and I am hoping to glean some brilliance from your blog - I need all the help I can get if I want to evolve beyond a mobile phone case made of old velvet pants! ♥
This is a stunning outfit! The skirt is such a lovely colour and it really suits you. I wore a high waisted skirt yesterday which I had made from stretch sateen, with a non stretch lining. I managed to split the back seam of the lining just getting into my car. I'm buying stretch lining from now onReplyDelete
Wow so cute!! I would never think of pairing a black and white top with such a bright skirt... but it looks fantastic. I might have to try something similar :)ReplyDelete
this turned out beautifully Gertie! The lace on skirt is a lovely extra touch, you nailed this outfit! looking forward to more on background dress!ReplyDelete

After I recent incident that reminded my why I hate looking for RTW clothing I decided to take up sewing for myself again. I stumbled across your blog last week and also just made my first skirt with the Jenny pattern. I made some adjustments to the hips and length but it still comes just to my knees. I think it is a super versatile pattern and want to make a fun one in addition to the grey and black.ReplyDelete
I wanted to comment however to mention that reading through your posts has helped me remember why I loved sewing clothes, and picking out patterns. It just takes a little more work to make something that actually fits me and that is so much more satisfying than spending $50-150 on a dress/skirt/pants that I never "want" to wear. Now I need to find a pattern for slacks that is flattering.
I think you've outdone yourself! I absolutely love it!!!! Fabulous! I even like it better than Emma Pilsbury's version. The top is much more retro than hers. Excellent job yet again!ReplyDelete
That is just so nice! Love the outfit. Love the dots, love the orange.ReplyDelete
It's beautiful - I love the little bow! Thanks for the lining link as well - I'm about to make a skirt and I'm going to try it!ReplyDelete

Your outfit turned out fantastic! I adore that orange skirt, beautiful work!ReplyDelete
You look beautiful Gertie! Love that shade of orange. xo apeyReplyDelete
Fantastic - Love the orange skirt and the lace-edged lining, what a pretty detail! Nicely done and it fits you so well!ReplyDelete

This is just so bleeping fantastic, I don't know whether to explode in a fury of french song, or to tap dance à la Gene Kelly.ReplyDelete

Well, I think your version is better than the model and of course, you are prettier than the model also and I like your blouse much better than the other one, too. Other than that, the two pictures are pretty much the same. Not!ReplyDelete
It's grogeous... Loving the orange skirt, bow and it's to die for lining. The blouse looks so pretty as well. Thank you so much for the lipstick it arrived last week and looks great... though I think it might take a while to get used to the 'redness" of it!ReplyDelete
Holy heckbags! That's one a-MAZ-ing outfit! Way to be awesome, as usual! Totally with you on the Jenny - whenever I wear her, I feel like a real, live, grown up lady!ReplyDelete

gorgeous! love the colour of that skirt.ReplyDelete
Absolutely fantastic, Gertie!!! So pretty and flattering... yay for YOU!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful new outfit! The skirt is adorable. The bow is such a lovely detail!ReplyDelete
what a brilliant color on you! love it!ReplyDelete
Love love love love! U look as sweet and lovely as emma :)ReplyDelete
Double hearts! Triple hearts! You look great!ReplyDelete
Bows are everywhere! Such a beautiful skirt!ReplyDelete
While watching 30 Rock last night I fell in love with the skirt a character wore at the beginning of the show. It reminded me of your project and inspired me to try making my own version, we shall see! http://thehoneybeesknees.blogspot.com/2010/03/take-bow.html
Fab, totally fab Gertie! Just a quick question (not sure if this has been mentioned) What colour shoes are you pairing the orange fabulousness with?! (Jeff needs more tutoring on photo taking, when he's not with the manuscript obviously!)ReplyDelete
The outfit is AMAZING! Orange is my favourite colour, though, so I might be biased. The bow is such a cute touch.ReplyDelete
Is the waist band on Jenny a lower-bodice shaped piece? I had been thinking of getting it, but I'm a 14... not a 10! It would never fit. :) Maybe I'll draft something myself from these instructions (http://marmaladekiss.blogspot.com/search/label/skirt%20block ).
Wahhh! I just happened upon your blog and I am completely in love. I haven't sewn anything in so long, but I think you might've sparked something in me.ReplyDelete

linking from one blog to another, I've found you!ReplyDelete
I too am in love with Emma's style, and your take on Emma is just devine! It fits you beautifully, fabrics are devine, what a fantastic outfit!
That outfit is fabulous! You make me want to drag my sewing machine out of the closet and try my darnedest to make a garment that fits! YOu're an inspiration and you look fabulous too!ReplyDelete
Love the lining/facing combo. The Colette patterns Oolong dress, which I sewed recently, has you do that and I really loved how it looked.ReplyDelete
...And of course the skirt is adorable too.ReplyDelete
