gwendolyngreyYesterday involved standing on a table in my senior project class, and demonstrating to everyone just how exactly you get in and out of a drop-front regency dress. I don't think there's any experience quite like starting to take off your dress in front of everyone without telling them you have three layers on underneath...
And I know I say it about everything new I make, but I really, really love my 1810 dress. (I especially love the kicky little ruffles at the hem.)
If all goes well, I'll be buying a camera of my own this afternoon once I get out of class, so hopefully I'll be better at taking pictures of things soon. If nothing else, it will be smaller than the family one and will stay close at hand.
And I haven't stopped! I have the spencer all muslin-ed up and the velvet cut out, and if my lining fabric would arrive already I could start actually putting it together. And then last night I fixed my regency corset so the waist and hips would fit (I just added another seam up the side, took things in, and rebound than section along the edge). And later today I'll be buying wood and masonite for my "real" paintings (practice is over!) which I've been planning out and sketching thumbnails for.
As astonishing as it may seem, I think I might be developing a good work ethic.
