Tiara!
I forgot to mention, I finally ordered my tiara. I got this one from Venus Jewelry on eBay. Should arrive in a week or two. Yay! :)
My train is going slowly. I have the pleats finally figured out and the waistband is pinned on. I also think that I've decided on a change for my bodice. It was going to lace up the back, but now I think I'm going to have it spiral-laced in the front, like the lady in pink in this Tissot painting, so that it'll be easier to put on. (The problem with sewing things slowly is that it gives me time to change my mind and then I have decision-making problems!) My biggest problem is that I really hate making eyelets. I even considered doing front buttoning instead. What do you think: back-lacing, front-lacing, or front-buttoning?
