Tomorrow my daughter will be wearing the pink costume I've been working on
since last year. Looking for the fabrics, getting patterns, make a toile,
adjusting this or that, gathering beads and pearls, looking for those little
black buttons, and hand stitching it all myself... and it looks great! I
loved stitching the linen shirt. She loves wearing the light corset. It's
all in pink, red undergarments and velvet sleeves of antique velvet that has
various velvet piles( velluto alto-basso or soprariccio). It's heavy for her
but I think adjusting the weight of the skirt will help that. So it's get
out the seam ripper and resew it to a band so it doesn't tip her over
backwards. I'll post pictures as soon as I find the camera cable. I'm so
proud of it. My next one will be the Elenor Toledo style... in a few weeks
I'll get started.
