green_marthaI ditched the 50s dress plan. I can't face the idea of making an everyday dress out of silk. So I have two ideas :
- 1844 corset from Corsets and Crinolines. With embroidered gussets, cause I bought cream embroidery thread. Should look *awesome*
- then this morning while looking through "Fashion", I noticed once again the pink 1790-something jacket next to the famous green-blue embroidered vest jacket (sorry, can't remember the page). I've always loved this one, but there's only a side view, which is pretty little to start reproducing something. Then, I open "The cut of women"s clothes", and 'lo, there's a pretty similar jacket on diagramm XXXII ! And it doesn't llok that hard to reproduce either. So I'm hesitating about which one to enlarge...
Oh darn, I think my mind is all set for the jacket, esp. since the cotton looks so good witht hte silk, and would look quite nice as a 1790s skirt.
Someday I'll stop changing my mind about my rococo things ^^
