mummy's fitting

think i'll make two posts of my work yesterday and today, less photos to be uploaded at a time :)
( here is her fitting )

i'll do another post with what i did today, more photos i'm afraid :) i don't know, for ages i make hardly any posts at all, then i make far too many at once :)

photos of actual bodices :)

not FINISHED bodices!
for some reason the silk for the ball gown does not photograph as the same colour, it's much more grey in real life, and doesn't have nearly as much shimmer, but it's still lovely either way.( this way to the pickies! )

the room that all these photos were taken in is not my sewing room, it's the dining room, but my sewing room is also doubling as mummy's office at the moment, and it's the room we always sit in, so i don't think i'll be able to do much costuming in there, the sewing yes, but not the cutting out and draping on the stand, maybe when i get to the regency :)
i really should go to bed now, we came back form dancing over an hour ago, but since the clocks changed today i think it's nearly 10 not nearly 11 :) i need to get up in the morning though and go shopping for piping and something for bone casings, so i need to go to sleep :)
