i'm really pleased with the way it turned out, and it's really comfy too! a bit tight round the rib cage, but you've gotta suffer to be beautiful, right! in the flesh i think the red stitching looks a bit stark, but i'm getting used to it now, and my family said it was great, so maybe it's just because i was so close to it when i was stitching it.
i don't think you can see, but i've had a massive tidy up in my room, my friend gemma came round and we had a mad blitz. it's so much better, and makes me really eager to sew every morning - i love being on holiday!
now i just need to make a crinoline and petticaot and the undies are all done!

i've finished my crinoline, but it's too boring for pics! i couldn't face the idea of sewing the frill between the last 2 steeles on by machine, so i made a detachable frill with buttons and buttonholes, officially so that i can remove it for washing! i'm going to go start on the petticoat now, but won't be able to finish it till i get some petersham for the waist band. i know i'm going into town on monday, but i don't think i wanna wait that long!
