headaches stink
Well I didn't get as much accomplished as I hoped tonight. I was hit with a massive headache during dinner (the kind where your whole face aches) so that has pretty much killed my momentum and zapped my energy. Pooh on the storm tonight that caused it! :< *moo*
I started on the pleating, once the meds kicked in but it's going really slow and I think an early night is the best plan right now. My fabric, while lovely to work with on the bodice, doesn't like to be pleated so it's fighting me all the way. I'm just not up to dealing with it at the moment.
Good news is I will have plenty of fabric left over to apply some self-trimming to both the gown and petticoat. Not that I anticipate getting to that this weekend to be honest.
In other good news I think I have a plan for my hair, thanks to your suggestions and images. I was also directed to some images on the Williamsburg site by my friend Tina that have proved particually helpful. (For the originals of the above, click here, click on the slide show "women in trades" and go to the wig maker’s section.) I’m especially found of the first one so that is probably what I will base my hair on, perhaps with some hanging sausage curls. I love bouncing curls. :>
I should write a note to myself to boil perm some of my fake hair tomorrow so I don't forget…
