taking stock
Feeling a bit overwhelmed by Dress U things so I'm going to try to work out what all I still have to do.
Friday: Just pack stuff everything is as done as it's going to be
Saturday:Hem regency dress hem and sleeves ETA: Just went and did that so at least I can cross off one thing!
Titanic Dress - Sew on rest of hooks and thread bars
Sunday- Day dress done (find apron! hides nice gap from being tubby)
Evening bodice - sew down sleeve facings, sew on buttons, boning
Evening overskirt?
I'm really almost done with the bodice. I need to hand whip down the sleeve bindings, sew on the buttons and put in some boning. Really not a bad list. I'm going to take the hand-sewing tomorrow for when C-man is taking his nap.
But I've started to worry that the over-skirt I have is so plain that it's going to look stupid. It's really really simple.
So I have two thoughts. 1. Add more cream silk trim around it. It was supposed to have it orginally and I just ran out of time.
2. Make a totally NEW over-skirt out of this black net I have.
Pros of the net: it's preeeetty
Cons: more work than just adding trim, and I have cream buttons and want to wear cream opera gloves.
