mandie_rwBecause this is already the year of the Unfinished Things, so who cares if I add another one?
(Besides the bin of Things, which will very much resent a bustle skirt being stuffed in!)
I'm just not feeling the new pink bustle dress. I was good today! I basted the skirt to the waistband, fiddled with the bustle, messed with the petticoats, and tried it all on, and marked the hem. And even stuck on some trim possiblilies, all of which I hated, btw. Hate the velvet ribbon, hate the pink shantung, dislike the black lace. Self trim is probably the way to go, as I started out with a 15-yard roll of the stuff.
So. I'm thinking bustle's not really my thing. (I did say that about Regency at one point, I know.) At the moment anyway. I have one bustle dress, so far appropriate for all occasions I need bustle-era somethings for! It's been too long since I made anything 18thc.
Not that that's what I'm going to do now, either. Going to clean up all the bustle-related crap strewn around, and finish and/or start my late 16thc jacket and kirtle for the Ren Faire.
...unless no-one wants to go any more, in which case plase do tell me and I'll make my 1780s curtain dress instead! *smirk*
