What I've been up to lately...

Treating my dressform like a large doll

1950s style petticoat over 18th c. Paniers

Mocking up a turn-of-the-century princess gown

Tight sleeves with a slight head, and a tight bodice with as few seams as possible.  What could go wrong?

Trying out Norah Waugh's 1904 ribbon corset, and dying my own linings to match

Planning an evening gown

The one one the right? Mauve silk taffeta?

Reading the very charming Tales Told in Holland, usually while sitting by the fire

And, you know, some other stuff.  Toodles!
