looking for ideas

[robinsnest]

I was supposed to finish a new dress today for tall ships tomorrow...my brain had other ideas and shut down with a vomit inducing migraine. But I see to have perked up..so now I'm trying to make this dress:



Not look so damn stupid. I'm not sure what possessed me to put trim just around the bib like that...it's abrupt and looks stupid as the bib is slightly gathered...so HEEEELLLLPPP...ideas?

If I take it off is the dress horribly boring? a sash? diagonal stripes of the same ribbon? can't find any reference for that kind of trim on a bib anyway.

I would take the trim off the bib, add a pretty sash, and add a lovely fichu or chemisette to fill out the neckline. You'll be surprised at how plain Regency bodices can look and still look good - you've got the fit, let that rock the show!
