occasionally I do make my mind up
Nov. 7th, 2010 04:14 pmI suddenly realized today that the Gettysburg trip is just under two weeks away, and contrary to what my subconscious likes to tell me, I don't have an indefinite amount of time to finish my dress.
I'd been dithering for weeks about how I want to trim this dress, but the realization of a strict deadline forced me to promptly make up my mind as to what sort of trim I wanted, and to even more swiftly place an order from M&J Trimming.
The plan is to use a dark, slate blue lightweight wool, and make a dress with an asymmetrical closure, more or less trimming it like this CDV:
I quite like that sleeve style too, although I'll be adding long-ish, white cuffs that come to a point.
The original idea was that Katie (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rvqavalon) and I would use similar wools to make dresses with mirrored asymetrical closures... her's will be closing on the left and mine will be closing on the right. I have no idea what sleeve style or trimming she'll use though, so there's still a great deal of potential for the dresses to not look like mirror images of each other. I'm honestly really interested as to how both of our dresses will appear side by side.
So far I just have the skirt panels sewn together and the hem faced, so there's a lot to get done in the next week and a half! Eel!
