It's starting to look like a brunswick!

I assembled the waistcoat fronts and finished the edges of the back yesterday in my lunch break, and today I made the most of my day off (after getting back from the dentist, who still won't refer me to have my wisdom teeth out, even though they're giving me such grief :( I could scream!) I pinned the waistcoat together so I could try it on to double check the fit and dart positions. It's a good thing I did as it was too big, so I took some width out of the fronts so there would actually be a gap at the back where the ties are. I also double checked the fit of lining of the brunswick while I was at it, and had Mummy mark where the edge came on the waistcoat back so I could add in the piece of silk .
After a fortifying cup of tea I got on to draping! It's really starting to look like clothes :D



Tomorrow I will finish assembling the waistcoat and do the buttons on the shirt collar and cuffs. I can't do the waistcoat buttons yet, because I'm still trying to find some silk buttonhole twist. I've found a UK supplier, but they haven't replied to my email about colour matching :(

It looks good!

I might be making a blue and white cotton check Brunswick. We shall see. Oh, who are we kidding, when I start to think of something...

I think this would be for the things associated with travelling day? If so, your brown will look very good with my pink redingote :)

Of course you're going to make one! how can you help yourself ;)
Yes, for the travel-y day :) It's actually a really dark maroon, not the brown it appears with my useless camera, so will look even more stylish with your pink! Also I will be wearing it as a pet en l'air with a cream petticoat and no waistcoat another day, mix and match!!
