Excellent! I love reading all the details.

Thank you! I really had to restrain myself. ;) But it was good to have a summary in one place.

Oh my, that is just lovely! The fabric you chose looks just like Lizzy's! It's beautiful!

Thank you very much! It really worked so well, especially considering I bought it to make an 1860s sheer dress. ;)

Lovely! It has such a beautiful flow in back, and the sleeves are charming

Thank you so much! There are always things to improve, but I'm way more happy with it than I ever dreamed I'd be.

And I'm really loving your entries, too. The Jeanne Samary gown is breathtaking!

Oh, Ginger! It's truly breathtaking! I love the long train and the sleeve details - ooh! just all of it! You have such a nice Regency fashionable silhouette too! The accessories are perect!

Thank you! :D I've been very unsure about Regency for a long time, because I sure don't have the column-style figure that's ideal. But I think my height and lack of proportion actually worked in my favorite for once. :D And thank you for noticing the accessories; it's something I tend to forget for costumes and even my vintage stuff, so I made sure not to leave them off this time. :)

So fabulous!!! Thank you :) I've been feeling a bit blah today, trying to sew on my mother's pelise, and now I've been given a new surge of energy, you've inspired me :)

Aww, that's sweet! I'm so surprised - it never occurred to me! But I'm very glad. :D Your mother is going to look adorable (as always!) in her new pelisse.
