Dang! That is SO much work! I am super impressed. You have a real knack for trimming, and especially being able to layer pieces and components for a final look that's much more than the sum of its parts. I think a lot of costumers, particularly beginners, err on the side of too simple - it's refreshing to see you go "crazy" with this but end up with a final project that's so true to the period in effect. I need to take lessons! :p

Thank you so much! I really do like to pile it on... and then I'm jealous of the elegant simplicity of Aristocat! LOL!

Ah, but that's more a reflection of her personal aesthetic! She often directly copies things, too. And even when the outfit itself is simple, she has a full array of exquisite accessories that complete the look.

"I am really surprised at how long it took me to make this gown! In my head everything is so simple, yet the execution took 50 times longer than I ever expected."

*sigh* That's my entire sewing life. So easy and quick in the conception, and forever in the execution.

"Real life constantly interrupts me, and I need to find a way to deal with that effectively. .. and I can't really whine about it, as this is a problem every seamstress in the world shares!"Not every seamstress: I suspect this is largely a first-world problem ( ... )

Thank you! I kind of just fell into it with the crazy fabric!

I cannot adequately convey to you how very beautiful I think this gown is... I know it was a bear but really, just stunning work.

What an amazing job! The way you tamed that unique fabric and did so much trimming is inspiring!

Thank you! I just couldn't stop trimming, anything short of what I did just didn't look right at all!
