On the bright side, I have the 1810 dress pretty close to finished, and barring any emergency I ought to get it done tonight.  The skirt needs attaching to the bodice, and I need to sew three little ruffles onto the hem, but that's it.  I keep getting the odd feeling that I've made this dress before, which I patently haven't.  I've never made a white dress, or used dotted swiss, OR made a drop-front regency before... but at every step felt like I'd done it already, and seeing the dress up on my form seems intensely familiar.  I suppose I can chalk it up to having always enjoyed regency clothes and having watched umpty-million Jane Austen movies in the past few years of my life.

It's still a very strange sensation though...  kind of like this dress has always existed and I'm just bringing it to light.
