madamekat has been talking about this mythic Germantown 18th century event. Which sounds like tons of fun, the only problem being I've got nothing to wear!! It's only a few weeks away and I don't wanna go quite as crazy as I did for Belvidere...that was enough crazy for one year...but I'd really like to go. I think I can still fit the navy blue petticote that goes with my hand sewn 18th century jacket (ahh weight gain) but I'm 99% sure these sausages ain't fitting in those tiny sleeves. So I've been toying with making a new jacket.
I found these two fabrics at Joanns that seemed...18th century ish to me. But I fully admit I'm going off of vauge aestetic here an nothing more specific than that.
I'm thinking of a jacket like this one, or the one in Costume Close Up.

Thoughts? Any votes for That-would-be-horribly-un-period-looking?
