Yep, I'm still gonna call it the rainbow trout dress, even if it's not terribly rainbow trout-y...mainly because "the green and pink shot dress that looks kinda greyish overall" just doesn't sound as catchy!
I was fairly productive today, when I actually got around to sewing. I (machine) sewed the side seams of the skirt, hemmed it, and leveled it from the top. After dinner I cut out the white linen bodice lining (1830s is pushing it for a linen rather than cotton lining, but I really like my linen linings! pry them from my cold dead hands), and got the back draperies of the voile done. The bodice front is going to be a crossover, so a plain back seemed wrong, but I didn't want to go to the trouble of working out a back crossover. So the back has some diagonal pleaty-drapey-things going on, from shoulder to mid-back, just to echo the front. There's a late 1820s dress in CiD so I didn't completely make it up!
And this fabric photographs horribly in artificial indoor light, so you don't get any pictures of it yet. Boring post!
(Also, the sequins vote post is very nearly neck and neck. I am amused and take this to mean either gold or silver will be awesome.)
