still sewing!

[newmoonstar]

Costume Con is two weeks away and I really need to get my dresses done! The only outfit I actually have completed is my 1898 summer suit. I have about half the work still to go on the bustle dresses, and I think only two of them will get done. I've decided to do all the same era so that I would have less new undergarments to make- the 1870

Aw, wow, that looks like an impressive dress to tackle - good luck with it! (And the sitting down, too.)

Thanks, I think l need all the luck I can get with this one! It's been quite a big project and I hope it's almost done, but some new issue seems to pop up every time I think I'm close to finishing. But the first time you make any new pattern, particularly for an era you've never made a dress from before, is always the hardest. At least now I know better for next time. (And when Costume Con is over I'm so looking forward to taking a break from sewing for a while & getting some writing done!)
