As always, a great job! <BR/><BR/>My take: mimicry is a replica. "inspired by" is similar to the original, but not the same.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074339341919661384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986773153401859625.post-80392738670755403872009-01-12T14:50:00.000-06:002009-01-12T14:50:00.000-06:00The Empire State Building inspired a dress.

I guess I would say that mimicry is when you try to exactly replicate an outfit-- color, styling, details-- and using it as inspiration, you change something up to make it your own. Like, say, you like the basic style of a shirt that has some interesting details, but you hate the color of the original and make it something you like more. Or you take the neckline of one dress and the sleeve from another and make it something totally unique.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09913795373618902575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986773153401859625.post-45884614717179277972009-01-11T21:10:00.000-06:002009-01-11T21:10:00.000-06:00hmm...almost like we are blogging about the same a...hmm...almost like we are blogging about the same accessory and clothing dilemna. =) <BR/><BR/>I think that you have changed the pattern (although somewhat unintentionally) enough to make it an inspiration piece. And since it is for yourself only, I think it is totally fine. I also think that using a piece of a pattern that you like is fine. I will sometimes see something that I like about a purse (but not the entire purse) and use that idea on a purse.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05468422056345875269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986773153401859625.post-44566469809691389052009-01-11T20:45:00.000-06:002009-01-11T20:45:00.000-06:00I love it!

I did't watch it at all during Christmas vacation and experienced serious withdrawals. I really like your new dress, my favorite color too. You did a great job.Faye Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781186043996633965noreply@blogger.com
