Hooray!

The rouleaux are all sewn on! Now I just have to sew the piped lozenges over the joins and I'll be very happy to wear it as is :)

I mocked up the bodice for my riding habit skirt over my lunch break. I decided to make it into something more fancy than just glorified suspenders (like the Patterns of Fashion one) so that I can wear it as a jumper dress! Two outfits for the price of one! And of course I'll have a braided wool spencer as well :) I'll link to my inspiration when I'm on an actual computer!

Fittings

I tried the 1820s dress on to mark the length of the belt and check it fits now it's finished

I can't tell you how pleased I am with it :)

 

I also tried on my jumper/habit skirt bodice to Mark the back and check the shape of the front

I think even if I don't get the braided Spencer finished this may be coming to costume college with me ;)
