i've been working!

and here's the proof!

so far all i have is a mockup :) i was very very silly when i made the last ball gown and used my mockup as the lining, i thought i would save myself some time i suppose, silly idiot!!
any way, here it is and it's dreadfully dull!


so, to make up for the dullness, i got clare to photograph me in my new day bodice! this is the dress i based it on:
http://dept.kent.edu/museum/costume/bonc/3timesearch/tsnineteenth/1860-1869/1860-1869.html

i'm so sad i didn't get to wear it last weekend :( but i can wear it in the summer.


you have to forgive the not too good photos, i also have my jeans on underneath :)


oh, and emmy wanted to play dress up too :p

as i took my jumper off i dropped it on her head, and got a naughty and wicked idea!!

she didn't seem too bothered by it, till she tried to walk off and her back legs were sliding on the rest of the jumper :)

so, i'm now going to go cut the bodice out in the silk, AND in lining, and keep my mockup for next time :p

I love the day bodice. Such a gorgeous colour.

Toile is good too.

BTW - silk will now be in the post on Tuesday - just been informed today (Sunday) that due to some issue in work, I have to work from home tomorrow (Monday). Who am I to ignore a request like that????? So, Tuesday the silk will be sent instead.
