Today I finished sewing the ruffles on the neckline of the dress. Not that the neckline treatment matters at all with the giant derpy chemisette, which I tried on with the bodice this afternoon. It looks ridiculous. I'm still attempting to decide whether it's a good ridiculous or bad ridiculous...I think it's great for 1820s, but maybe a bit much for 1810s. Um.

My mother has that book. I read it mumble years ago, too.

Never read Miss Piggy's wisdom, but if she's agreeing with Oscar Wilde, I shall have to consider her words very carefully! :D
