DRESS!! OMG YAY
Mar. 20th, 2015 11:07 pmFinished the trimming on my dress and HAD to get dressed up :D :D :D
( le pictures! )
Not shown, the massive (?) amount of blood my finger left all over the inside of the bodice and front of the skirt after I stabbed pins into it trying to pin the dress closed... (I started the dress about a year ago, used a bodice pattern that fit then, but it's been a year and also late at night...)
Ladies wot do 18th century... how do you keep your shift sleeves from bunching up into your armpits? I could NOT get them down, very uncomfortable. (Also reminded myself why you do socks and shoes BEFORE corset/stays. Eesh, self, really?)
Still need to rehem the petticoat, and hem the gown, (and clean up the blood) but then it is DONE.
