chemise gown progress

Late-night posting again, yeesh. I was really trying to stop doing that...

Got the sleeves sewn together and attached to the gown, with a minimum of finagling - they aren't the best sleeves ever, but I've made worse. (There's a little fitting issue that I could probably fit with a minimum of work...but I'm not sure I care enough to do it. Ugh, I probably do. Tomorrow!)

Robin pointed me toward this portrait, which I hadn't seen before...it's got the cutaway "zone" front with a loose-fitting chemise-gown-kind of thing underneath. Woo!

And I really like that sash! I may have to make a new, extra-long one, so I can wrap it like that. I've even got a yard of (absurdly expensive) blue and gold silk brocade languishing in the stash that would give a similar (shiiiiny!) effect...
