Not much to report, but I spent my evening working on the muslin for the bodice of the Sleepy Hollow Stripey. Our camera is almost officially dead (as in won't work for love or money) so you'll just have to imagine it. I'm almost scared by how smoothly the whole process went... I'd been quite intimidated by the prospect of doing en fourreau pleating without a dressform. I was lucky though, in that the robe a l'anglaise pattern in Jean Hunnisett almost exactly matched my measurements; so I was able to scale it up and with only a little tweaking (such as... oh, narrowing the back... like ALWAYS) make it fit. 

It's terribly exciting to be starting on the dress though... it feels like eons since I last made something big and fun. Underpinnings might be pretty, but they don't satisfy the soul.
