So about Sunday...
It looks like I will be wearing the 1946 bathing suit! The top is done, and the skirt just needs most of a hem and the ties sewn. I decided against the shorts as they don't show and I don't want to swim in this one.
The ties were holding me up. I hate turning tubes! Then I decided to just sew them from the outside by hand. Much less stressful!
In other news, I did no knitting today :)
I also decided to bring the cotton print Regency (the one I wore with the Jane Austen fairy wings) as a backup for Sunday. I would be super sad not to wear the plaid, but for pattern matching purposes, the waist is very tight. I had a coughing fit in the dress and it was fine, but I'm not sure how it will go with the I'm sure will still be sore ribs. The dress is very small, so packing light isn't an issue.
Have I mentioned how happy I am that I'm doing 20s for the gala? If I had made Victorian or 18c, I would be so sad about not being able to wear it!
I am so ready to feel better. I'm on the mend, but it's kind of like the weather. In spring, 80 degrees feels unbearably hot, but at the end of summer, it feels nice and cool. It's all relative :)
