Tudor: Fun with sleeves, Part 2

First, I would just like to say that, after trying the gown on to do sleeve-futzing, I'm pretty sure I'm just going to roast at Faire this year, unless the weather continues to be about 50 degrees! If everyone else there is walking around and complaining about how cold it is, I'll be comfortable. Also, I really want to weigh this thing...with both sleeves sewn on, it really does weigh a ton!

Let us proceed with more less-than-thrilling pictures. I always forget how much I love Mabel until she's not around. A dress dummy really is a helpful thing!

And on a completely unrelated note, my extremely irritating floormates are apparently attempting to breed tiny flying things in their trash cans. So far, they are succeeding, and their advance guard is coming to colonize my room. *swats small bug*
