A digression
Aug. 28th, 2015 01:29 am(Because I am thinking about the 1860s I should be sewing, even if I'm not sewing it!)
I spent some time tonight actually doing the math for how much fabric I'd need for the new ballgown I'd settled on (dis one, pink and white on the right)
...and was somewhat startled to find that the fabric for dress plus new fluffy petticoat will cost more than a silk ballgown would! (A silk ballgown without 15 flounces, of course.) Like...considerably more. Like...I'm digging through fashion plates and puresilks.com more. Well, we shall see!
