More signs of weight loss...

I just put on my Tudor gown, and it overlaps by about 2-3", when before it would lace about 1-2" apart. And this overlap is without the boned kirtle holding me even tighter

Aye, Frankenstein. Sure.

I think on the sides near the eyelets would probably be the best (less noticeable, for one thing, as your arms hang there).

But every stitch can be a victory celebration...

Thank you.

I've come to realize that I am annoyed... because in a way I am stuck in a middle area, I don't fit my old clothes (yeah!!), but my weight and size is still fluctuating, so I can't wear anything new for very long, before I have to adjust the size again. I want very much to make up and wear stuff that will look good on me, but I am too cheap to spend the money for something that will only fit a few months only.

And I am annoyed about having to redo the Tudor set, because I had just finished up making everything, and now will have to remake it all again. I want to move forward, not remake stuff over and over.

But I need to think of this as less an annoyance, and more a victory. Thank you.

I would certainly not hand-stitch it, if the machine is sufficient; you're going to lose more weight.

Oh, hell no. No more hand stitching for awhile, except for some hand finishing that is best done by hand (like the velvet hem guard on one side).
