A teeny detour!

While discussing what I need to pack for the 3 days we'll be spending at the Victorian festival I remembered I'd made Mummy a new ballgown last winter! I'd trimmed the bodice with a black fur collar to fit the theme of the ball - the Russian Winter Palace, but I'd always planned to re-trim it with black lace.
Antique lace, frayed ruched taffeta, and velvet ribbon for a bertha, with rayon moire bows, but you only get a sneak peak for now ;)




So, now I'm all set for lots and lots of hand sewing in the car over the weekend, I get tomorrow to work on my skirt for the Suffragette march, which may not end up being what I'd planned after all, having had a good rummage through my stash...
