totchipandaFebruary snuck up, and it's once again time for the ball*! Last year I made my ball gown in 2 days, and I'd really like to not do that again, so it's time to start thinking about what I'm going to make :D
Sure, I could wear last year's gown. I LOVE it, it's so pretty. But I have new stays, and they're really high on the back, and everything except a wrap gown with too-tight sleeves (and a too-narrow skirt!) shows them.
Oh darn, a new gown :3 And maybe some outerwear?! Headgear! OOOOH IDEAS :D
I'm thinking... perhaps a white gown and a cute little vest? Something bright and fun? I'd really like to make something more challenging than "plain gown, done". Decorations have always been hard for me, and the ball is at the end of the month. Lots of time! But I need to start soon, because my SAD usually kicks in a couple of weeks, so the more I can get done now, the better. I'm also limited to what I already have available to me.
Still super tired but only an hour and a half to go. Maybe gown research will keep me awake long enough to get home :D
*There will be dancing, but my Regency-wife and I vastly prefer the card tables ;) Gotta brush up on my whist! And also YAY another outing for the pineapple!
