gwendolyngreyThe Irish dance dress consumes my mind.
No. REALLY... it has entirely taken over every single waking moment... if I'm not working on it, I'm thinking about it, or feeling guilty that it's STILL not done and oh good lord she has to WEAR it on Saturday!
The good news is that it looks good so far. Very sharp.
The bad news is that is STILL ISN'T FINISHED!
My Dad mentioned at lunch that I could always get another job to make enough money to buy a dressform (which I have to have within the next month or my senior project is dead) and I nearly started crying there at the kitchen table at the mere thought of taking on anything else. Honestly, there were tears. I'm very glad to be working with Ed on the mural, but that AND working at the fabric store AND making this dress and then having to build the rest of my senior project costumes this summer PLUS trying to fit in a LITTLE bit of time with my friends or projects of my own..... not to mention the new roommate bailed on us, so now Beky and I are stuck with higher rent than we can really afford for the rest of the summer...
I'm sorry for the blatant abuse of caps, but SOMETHING has to be done to try to express what this dress has done to me.
Rebekah... be glad I love you.

The bodice is on a very bad hanger, but you get the idea.
Aaaaand the skirt is still eating my brain... I'll probably be up until the wee sma's finishing the front panels tonight.
