Regency vs. natural form

Or in other words : the best laid-out plans never hold long enough to make it.
At argyronete's wedding on Saturday I wore my 1895 ball gown and that got me thinking again.
I'm indecisive again about my wedding dress. I clearly have a soft spot for anything between 1870 and 1900, AND I already have some pattern bases for that. But on the other hand, I have a hard time with the weight of it all when I'm tired - on Saturday I had to change into a lighter costume by the beginning of the dinner. The week before had been a little rough, but I don't expect the week before my OWN wedding to be anything more restful. I also have the simplicity regency patterns that I bought last time I was in Paris, and I have some ideas that would work with my fabrics and be pretty cool - certainly not entirely period but that's not the most important point about it.
*ponders ponders*
In the meantime, I decided I'd tackle all the drawing and organizing stuff and my Mom's outfit first.

Happy birthday laurenmonkey !

*sigh* I intended to SEW today. Except it appears I have some problem with the taxes for the house and I need to go spend a few hours with the tax people this afternoon. I am *thrilled* by the mere perspective. I'll try to go early and not spent more than three hours there, because lady_darkstone is probably coming later in the afternoon. And did I mention I wanted to sew ? Why is it that I only get my sewing mojo back when I have a bazillion other things demanding my attention ? Oh wait, maybe it's just that I've had a bazillion things going on ever since we moved in here. And I was thinking I could breathe a little now that the wedding season is over...
At least I got two appointmeents this morning for changing some of the windows and blinds and taking down the infamous cedar or something that takes up way too much space in the garden.
