I finally have the Baroque Corset completely boned and sewn together, and I have the decorative ribbon sewn down the front seams. This is really to hide where the pieces were attached. I found JUST ENOUGH vintage blue silk velvet ribbon for this. I have all the binging cut and sewn together but just haven't been able to bring myself to sew it on the darn thing. Maybe tomorrow...
The last few days I have been working on pieces for a Regency Tea that I am attending on September 20th, with my daughter. So far I have made her a bonnet and a ruticle. I really like the later, and the hat is ok. I wish I had made it fuller in the back as I just don't think it is as poufy as it should be. I will fix it later if I have time, but it will work for now and overall it is very attractive.
For myself I have cut the dress and jacket. The dress is something of an experiment in the lacing department as I have it lacing/closing in the front. We will see how it turns out. I did not cut the sleeves large enough and I was not liking how they fit so I decided to make it more of a jumper style. I think this will look nice. The only fabric I have for a blouse though that I really like is probably not very period, and it IS synthetic, but I really like the look so I am using it anyway. I will make another more appropriate blouse for it later when I can find the right material.
