Unregistered Bustle Pad and Accessories Completion + A Project Registration - A Period-inspired OP

[candyfairy15]

Hi everyone,
I'd like to share with you a couple of small things I've finished lately and register a new project:-)

First is my first attempt at an embroidered bustle pad and French hand-sewing:

I like your bustle pad and I'm very interested to see how your OP turns out.

I am currently making an 1830s dress, and am using the Truly Victorian 455 pattern for the bodice.

Hi, thank you very much for your kind words:-) I peeked at your blog and wow, your costumes are made of win! I'll watch out for your 1830s dress, it's sure gonna be splendid.
I'm too broke to buy a pattern yet, so drafting one from the old patterns available online for free to the rescue:-)

[mintymuffins]

That's very sweet of you to say!

Good luck with your project. =)

And to yours:-)

What exactly is a fichu?

[candyfairy15]

Hi! Kind of a lacy neckerchief, or a detachable lace collar.

[lafarat]

Oooh! I see. That makes sense now, paired with the blouse like that.

I love your embroidery, and I also love that lace collar.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the dress looks like when it's finished.

I'm soo very glad that you like them! Thank you very much for your sweet words:-)
