I'm interested to know what you think of the pattern! I have it on my wishlist, since I have two lengths of fabric destined to be sheer Regency dresses, but yeah that price tag is ouchy. :D

You can totally try mine out if you want!
So far I like the Sense & Sensibility pattern better, aesthetically and for ease of use.

The Sense & Sensibility pattern is what I used for my blue stripey dress, but I modified that too. But in general thus far I like it better.

It's not done yet! I did draft the upper petal part of the sleeve and make those over the weekend, but haven't attached them. I'm hoping to do that tonight and draft the undersleeve.

I will be posting more!

I'll try! I've never been to one of these so I don't know how easy it will be, but yes, I will definitely try!

Thanks! I have loads more pictures to post, I'm just so slow about that sort of thing 8D

How are you so talented. It looks like it's coming along so well. The pink muslin looks very pretty. I cannot wait to see it next to the blue.

The Pride and Prejudice party also sounds like fantastic fun.

Almost done now!

It's totally not the look I was going for originally, but I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out :D

Yay ball! It's my first one! Excited!
