mandie_rwOk, not quite finished the ballgown. I finished the sleeves all fine and dandy, and put the hooks and eyes on the skirt and bodice...and then decided I really don't trust them, and that I do want to in fact sew them together. And felt disinclined to do so today. Technically I need to put it all on yet again for bertha fastenings...but since trying to get in and out of that thing by myself makes me want to murder something, I think I'm going to just sew them on, hope, and remember there are always pins. ;)
And still need the bars on the bodice back for the butt-bow. I've kind of reached saturation point with this dress though. Obvious by the way I'm dragging my feet! So I think I'm going to put ballgown things off for one more day and do other stuff tomorrow. Maybe I'll actually get hooks put on the paletot?? OOOOO.
In other G'burg news, my last oil lamp was delivered today (an antique, with a bit of oil and a wick in, and tonight I couldn't resist and lit it up, and lord help us it smells terrible), I'm going to be repairing my quilt at Gettysburg as some of the squares have reached that point of no return, my ballgown chemise is waaaaay too tight round the shoulders, my wrapper has no belt or fastenings, and I cut the throat too high on my satin dancing slippers and they look dumb. So, you know, that's where we are right now. :D
