Today I finished the paletot enough. I'd still like to get those flappy decorative button thingies on the front eventually, but not enough at this point to figure them out and sew them on. Soooooo lazy. I ought to work on the slippers or sew the ballgown skirt to the bodice, but I'll probably go to bed instead. Zzzzz.

The obnoxious lining tickles me! And yes, you can see the blue where the skirt stands out from the hoop. I didn't put a collar on, because I wanted the option of pinning a little fur collar (vintage, 1950s probably, that works very well for 1860s) on. Still haven't decided on that yet. Will probably bring collar and decide there.

Got my earings and necklace set to go with the ballgown in the mail today; also the lamp oil (32oz is suddenly looking smaller than ideal, as I look at my lamps...oh well I'm sure there's a wally world in the vicinity if we run out) and wick (take out that gross stinky one!).

I like it! Obnoxious linings tickle me as well :D

Also, the perspective and the floor colour make this look like a tiny piece of clothing being held in someone's hands if one is not looking directly at it XD

I think the lining's my favorite part, haha.

Cool bands! I saw one like it on an 1860s net lace canezou on Pinterest recently.

I like the graduated trim. I hope you get to wear it.
