not to be a tease, but

I've finished my second project ever! (oh dear, isn't that sad?)

it's a regency day dress made from red IKEA curtains, nothing too fancy but I like it a lot. it's been languishing in my closet for months, I think it was nearly done in January, but I only just got around to putting the finishing touches on it. my sister took a couple pictures of me

I just love the sleeves!

What a nice fit and a lovely rust/red colour!

It's pretty! I just love that color.

I have you beat on the languishing regency project, though; I started my regency outfit in 2005 and didn't finish it until 2006...and then didn't even wear it until 2008.

And if you ever feel like it, you could easily transform it into an early 1500s Florentine outfit:
