Oh, and the fabric I ended up getting for the chemise gown...ordered it yesterday, because it really did take me all weekend to decide whether to get striped voile or not! Finally decided against it, because not everything has to be striped.
...And then promptly went and got a yard of this silk for a sash. Because, yeah, everything does have to be striped!
And some light blue silk for the hat. I also ordered some silk ribbon to lace the stays and use for drawstrings in the gown, which means I should be pretty well set, don't think I have anything else to buy. Except maybe shoes, because it would just bother me to wear my heavy black Fuggerwuggers with a chemise gown... (but that's why I have ebay and glue!)
Oh, and now I remember why I haven't ordered from Renaissance Fabrics in ages - their shipping! Good lord. I love everything I've bought from them, but I almost fell out of my chair when I saw the shipping cost for 8 yards of voile and 2 yards of taffeta. If I hadn't decided I was very attached to that particular shade of blue in a striped fabric, I'd have gone somewhere else.
