A happy start to the holidays!
Since finishing my sewing room (which I know I still haven't posted pictures of!) I've been a happy busy little girl, spending nearly all my time in there! I don't have a costuming deadline until the 3rd of August, so I've been making more clothes for everyday wear. I have several to show you, so ( the photos are under the cut )
I've still got loads of ideas for more dresses, skirts and blouses! At some point though, I'm going to have to switch over to costuming! We have a demo on the 3rd, doing Scottish Victorian dancing, and only have a small area, so my crinoline would be too big, so I get to make another bustle dress! I'm planning to use the left over crossbarred silk with some pale pink taffeta to make a polonaise to go over the newly re-modelled dark pink bustle skirt. I think it'll work, hopefully I'll have enough fabric, but if not, I can always take half of the back panel from the Francaise petticoat ;) I'm going to have a look through my dancing friend's huuuge costuming book collection on Friday for some ideas!
