Brown & Black Dress, Turn of the Century-ish: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
This is my last post about “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”. The show will be performed next weekend, and the costumes are set and ready to go. Now that I am done writing up these posts, projects will probably start coming a little slower and with a more eclectic inspiration. I have a long list…
