green_marthaSans pictures again. Too much fuss to install the daughter upstairs when she seems to be pretty okay about being in the cool downstairs.
So, tried on everything sans chemise and I mostly like it. My fabric is obviously springier than the original so that the hang is not exactly the same, but overall, I get this kinda "I'm a cupcake from my underbust down effect" effect from the period. the bodiced skirt is super-mega comfy and LIGHT ! After last Saturday, it's a blessing - one of my new resolution is to NOT go anywhere in costume when it's 39°C in the shade anymore. Or at least not in a costume involving more than two layers. I couldn't stand the caraco for more than three hours :(
back on topic : I need to take a dart on the skirt bodice, as I've lost half a cup since I started makign the outfit. Hem it, of course, and do the little finishing touches to the jacket, also listed as :
- hem the bottom
- make two buttons
- add buttons and buttonholes to the wirstbands
- sew on the belt
- add the ruffles
- add hooks and eyes to the bodice lining
Sounds doable, right ? I kinda gave up on makign a bodiced petticoat, mostly because I wouldn't have the courage to wear it unless it gets a LOT cooler. Errrr a hat and gloves would be awesome, but I'm really not sur eI can get those done as well
