I managed to post my cream poplin dress recap on the blog, and tried to write the marquee dress one as well, but photobucket was being a massive butthead all day, so that was a failure. So I kept poking away at a couple new hats for the shop instead. One good old 1780s mushroom hat and one possibly stupid tall 1810s hat that I'm trying out a pattern tweak for.
Also I just discovered tonight that the manufacturer of (proper) hoop steel has, well, stopped manufacturing. They stopped last year so I'm sure I'm the last to this party, but I'm personally offended by this. PERSONALLY, I tell you! I was contemplating making an elliptical hoop for my birthday outfit this year, but now I rather think not. Amazon has it for $120, Vogue Fabrics for $189. What a deal. (I know there are substitutes, but right now I just feel like bitching.)
