I finished it and wore it!

I finished the red challis in time to wear to go to Rockingham Castle Friday evening! And I love it :) It's so silly and festive, and it's WARM!! Any way, I didn't manage to get any good pics, the two that shoe the dress the best are rather fuzzy, but they're

And one sitting down, a little closer so you can see the bodice more easily.

I'll hopefully manage to get some better pics soon - on the 5th we're dancing in the local town, just for fun, then on the 6th we're doing an official demo at another local town at their Victorian Christmas Market, so there should be some photo opportunities then. I should have my new corset done by then too, so it'll look better as well :)
And I have work tomorrow :( It's the week of the Yr 10 play, so rehearsal tomorrow, then I'm in till late on Tuesday for another rehearsal, then the performances on Thursday and Friday till 10:30 ish in the evening :( We have a Regency Ball on Saturday, and I'm hoping to be able to fit making a new ballgown into next week too!

It's beautiful. I love the trim on it, it's so different.

Thank you! I really like this ruched trim too, it takes ages to do, but I love the effect on the ribbon.

Gorgeous.

Where did you source the challis?

[mlsdesigns.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
I really lucked out at Leicester Market, he had just 7 metres left, in 2 pieces, and he's never had challis before or since! It's the same stall I found the remnant of silk duchess satin for my corset.

So wonderfull, and you are lucky to have such a fine photographer, who knows the right angles to shoot!
Wonderfull!

Thank you! It's funny you say that, these photos are snap shots taken by a 12 year old, and she HAD to stand there just to be far enough away! They did make really nice shots though, didn't they :)
