For the most part, this is it. - I need to add rings for the sleeve ties.
- I have aglets for the ties that I have stored in a very special place. Wish I remembered where.
- I need to pin the for-skirt to my farthingale.
- I need to add a panel in the center front because my bodice gaps a little which is frustrating because it seemed loose when I started. Being squishy, I have trouble lacing to the same size consistently.
- And I have some decorations for the shoulders left to add.
- I should probably have a head covering.
But I'm basically done. Hurrah. Hurrah. NEXT.
We are going to the Ren Faire on October 5th. I've never been. I'm afraid I will sweat to death. I may have more pictures. Or not.
Dear Lisa,
ReplyDeleteYour dress is beautiful! The royal purple and blue ...the trim...gorgeous! Can't wait to see the finished outfit :)
Best wishes,
Anneliese :)
Thanks! I've worked on it off and on, for a while, waiting for my friend to get around to doing hers. Happy to be getting it finally done. I learned a LOT.
DeleteBeautiful outfit! Tips for renfaire: drink lots of water, bring a parasol, and if it's really hot, buy a bodice chiller. But not a metal one; I know someone who has scars in a very delicate area from having the metal sides freeze to her skin! Ouch!
ReplyDeleteBodice chiller? Never heard of it, and I will exercise caution. That sounds painful.....
