I'm so jittery and worked up about Deathly Hallows it's absolutely rediculous! And it really galls me that at this very moment people are already reading the book, or at least have it in their possession. As for me? I have to work tomorrow morning, and really don't want to go to work after being up all night reading, and I CAN'T go to work half-way done with the book, so I'll be picking it up as soon as I get out tomorrow afternoon. I'm house/pet-sitting this weekend, and will hole myself up with the book and be prepared to cry my little heart out. I know I will, whether characters I love die or not, this is IT. The end. As the icon says, Game Over. And oh, I won't be able to bear it if Harry dies! 

It's all I can think about... Deathly Hallows...

I'm not even diverted by this:

I understand. ;_; Please don't feel bad, though. I still think you're amazing! May I ask what pattern you're using in case I have another seamstress make it for me or (heaven forfend) I try to make it myself?

Thank you. :-) I didn't use a commercial pattern; I drafted one myself, mostly basing it off one of the 18th cen dresses in Jean Hunnisett's book Period Patterns for Stage and Screen: 1500-1800. I'm afraid I won't be much help in that regard, though I believe Patterns of Time (http://www.patternsoftime.com/) has a good pattern or two that closely resembles this dress.

That's impressive. I'm nowhere near pattern drafting. O_O

Thank you for the link! Maybe this polonaise pattern (http://www.patternsoftime.com/proddetail.asp?prod=PI420) would work. One question... is the Sleepy Hollow gown made of three pieces (polonaise, petticoat, & stays)? I know the answer must seem obvious, but I'm just beginning to wrap my mind around the idea.
