It's a long road to a Twelfth Night dress

[lefkowitzga]

My last court dress was made in 1998.  After  Amaryllis, Aleea and I completed the greatest Coronation clothes I ever worked on, I promised friends and family I would make my own dress before working on anyone else's.

This has been one of the most fun and silly experiences.  First, I needed to remake my corset.  This has been in the works for ages.

Will we get to see a picture? With me, it is putting sleeves in inside out. I once did it three times on one dress.

My goal is to finish for the Steltonwald Twelfth Night, so I can get someone to photograph me there.

I have put sleeves inside out, too, but the worst was when I was making a chemise for a very slim friend, and I sewed her sleeves as the body and her body as the sleeves - she couldn't put it on! I was too used to a bigger difference between sleeve and body pieces.
