"I probably won't be posting much..." Or, maybe I will. Gotta report every little inch of progress, right?

Bonnets - Alice's bonnet is finished, woop woop! And I'm rather pleased with it, I must say.

Wonderfully glare-y pictures, oops. I'll make her stand still this weekend so I can get a few decent ones. :D

And you can't see the plastic-y stems quite so much on a real head...which I know because I wore it around for a while last night. Gotta, y'know, test it out first. Robin's bonnet frame is sewn together, so that's....progress.

And the World's Ugliest Nightgown, because I guess that's something I want to show off? (Hey, it's another FINISHED thing, so, yes!)

Bonus points for making it too short, too. I think I'll put a piece in it for next time around but not now. Don't care enough!

What a beautiful bonnet! I love the plaid ribbon, so pretty!

Short nightgowns are period correct. http://adayin1862.blogspot.com/2008/10/1860s-nightgown.html

Correct they may be, but they look quite drafty! I'd prefer to have me legs covered up...but at least they'll also be covered in wool stockings most of the time! :D

Cute bonnet! And I would not call that nightgown ugly at all!

Thank you! And, heh, well, I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder...but I dunno, it's pretty ugly on, too, haha!
