long day is long

[robinsnest]

We had a really light patient load today, which made the day kind of drag.

I walked in the door and promptly trussed up in corset and hoop. Rob walked in from the grocery store and went "what on earth are you doing!?"  I fit my mock up with is...eh the darts need to be fitted in the real dress as it's velvet and I suspect will need to be smaller ANYWAY, but for now it's good enough to blaze forward.

I forgot to take a picture of proof of skirt.



It's actually a much brighter plaid but eh the light is dark in here now.

I then sat down at 7:30 and started knitting till the end of wheel of fortune...at 10:50 I finished the body of the sontag...what I didn't want to cut velvet!

So as it stands:

Plaid dress: all of the bodice, chemisette/under sleeves.

Sontag: block the very curly body, weave in ends, make ties (my last ones were i-cord but I'm bored with that, thinking about braided ties), tassels, assemble.

Pineapple: same as always.

The way a hoop and skirt fall when you take them off is one of my favorite things in costuming! It's so SATISFYING.
