it only took three tries
So Belvidere is next weekend, and after missing it for the past two years, I'm finally going to go this year no matter what! (Barring another illness, anyway) So that means I need to finish up my yellow outfit for this, so I have something nice and lightweight and not silk to wear.
I've got the skirt fully pieced now, and the skirt ruffles all cut out and waiting to get put on once I find some cord to gather them with. And I pulled out my TV Polonaise pattern, which is my go to base for all my bodices, strange as it sounds, and I just need to trace the pieces off and redraft the neckline into the V I want, rather than the square neckline of the pattern.
I'm waffling between making the overskirt seperate and keeping it as a polonaise and just putting a belt and peplum over it. I was thinking I'd be basting the bodice to the skirts anyway, but I'm not sure I want a center front seam on the overskirt, and I don't know if it would fit over my hooped bustle without redrafting/widening/ect. I have to decide quickly though, don't I?
Which day is the plan for Belvidere?
