I'm really frustrated about not going to Vaux, so I'm making a last attempt. I put a option on a train ticket, And I've just finished the petticoat. I may be mad, And I'll be a wreck at work on monday, but it only happens once a year, I've never met de_ravenne IRL and I haven't seen heileen for what seems like ages. Ok, it's not that I *may* be mad, I am completely and utterly insane.

Let's
see what needs to be done :
Skirts
- a new bumroll, because the one I made is completely wrong for 1795. Bummer. I need a BIG ASS, hips are not that important...
- errr... the skirt itself. Not sure I'll have time to cartridge pleat it though..

Bodice (the back issues are solved, I'm very proud of my bodice back I have to say)
- cut down the sleeves, trim them with a small ruffle, hem etc...
- gather and attach the front
- flatline the belt, attach a ruffle to hide the jonction between skirt and bodice
- either bind the neckline or make a small ruffle for it

Possible accessories
- change the ribbon on the hat, possibly adapt the hat's shape to make it look less not-authentic
- pockets ! let me have pocket slits for a reason !!
- fichu

It could almost sound doable... almost.
I'm mad.

And hungry. But let's sew first, dinner will wait.

Well, you are mad but then again, these moments are what makes the costuming so special, all those last minute things! ;) But don't forget to have fun too and take care, don't work yourself out!
