Whoops...

Well as per the norm, going to the Regency Tea did not work out. Now we are setting out sights on The Gathering of Rebels on October 26th. Loads of costume stuff to do for that one, and I have yet to get started. The fabrics I need have been alluding me! I thought I was set with my Stays, but they did not work either. I had adjusted the length from the waist but they are STILL way shorter than I wanted them, so it sits in a pile where I threw it, with about 2 feet of binding left to go. I will finish it later but right now I am too mad. So I need an outfit for me, my son, my daughter, and my son's girlfriend. Yikes!

More Regency Costuming.

I have what is now my "jumper dress" all sewn, with the exception of the hem. I am going to wait and do that last as I really need to try and make a pair of stays so that may very well change the length. Should have made the stays first I know, but I do not have the material at the moment. Next I need to cut out the blouse. I am not really sure of the style for that yet though so I will work on Elaina's instead. Will be sewing/fitting her dress after dinner.
