In pretty good shape

mandie_rwAlthough I still haven't put the buckles on my shoes. Go do that now.
I got the gathered cuffs sewn on in such good time that I also managed to get trim sewn on the wrists. I was a little iffy about the whole thing up til I put the lower sleeves in, but somehow lower sleeves made it suddenly adorable! Although the gathered trim gives a little puff at the elbow, and I suddenly realized I might be wearing an 1838 dress(ish) with a cape! Heh. Whatever, I like my Romantically puffy jacket now!
Although speaking of puffy, if this outfit is going to get fairly regular wear at the IKT, I need to make that habit shirt, stat. The neck ruffles of my Regency shirt look fairly dorky, but the sleeves are definitely doing that sausage-arm thang. Not so uncomfortable I can't wear it, but definitely not ideal! I really didn't want to make the jacket sleeves any wider, though, or it would look stupid when I wear the jacket on its own (which was the whole point of making a separate waistcoat)!
There are a couple little odds and ends I'd like to get done for Jockey Hollow on Sunday (switch out ribbon on cap, that kind of thing), but nothing I need to kill myself over. If it gets done, that's nice! If not, that's cool too.
