green_martha... Maybe I'm not going to achieve everything I wanted to achieve by Sunday. I won't have an embroidered batiste vest. Maybe I even won't have a hat. But I do have a dress...
... Just a teaser...
It looks better on me than on the dummy, of course. It's not perfect by far. The fit above the breast and the armholes both gave me fits, but I wasn't going to spend years on it.
I cut down a straw hat. It's currently drying in the bathroom and here's hoping I get to add some of the trim I bought for it tomorrow.
And after that, I seriously need a break from sewing. That beast of a dress was much more work than expected and I feel a little burnt out. And sad too, because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heileen won't be there on Sunday, and she's ALWAYS been there at costume events, and how am I gonna do without my costuming buddy ? *whines*
