A slight change of plans!

I work part time this term and next, so today was my day off, and I was hoping to spend it sewing, but in the end I didn't get round to sewing till this evening :( I did manage to make and fit a bodice mockup though, and I think it's looking good. While I was getting dressed though, I started thinking. I originally bought the fabric for a ball dress for Mummy, its such a dark red, and I now think maybe it wouldn't be best as a ball dress for me, it will be too dark I think. I still want to make it up though, and I'm now thinking of a riding habit, or something inspired by one :) So that leaves me making up the fabric I originally planned to make my dress from! It's a lovely gold shot taffeta and I got 30yds of rococo ribbon trim to trim it with, I'm planning frills and flounces all over :) The mockup will work for a sacque back as well as the anglaise I was going to make, I'll just leave off the point. Oh and the alterations I made to my stays have made an amazing difference, the straps actually stayed on my shoulders!!
I took pics, I'll try to post the tomorrow, but, unless we have more snow (fingers crossed!) I'm at work tomorrow :'(
