The dress diary

[frualeydis]

I have indeed updated my dress diary. I was too tired to go and watch football tonight so I decided to stay home, work on the web site and get some sewing done.

Ah yes, it's the same for me. I seem to be able to loose weight everywhere, apart from tummy and breasts.

Oh, I can't wait to see pics! I don't want to start playing arounf with the pattern right now, so I'll strat with embroidery samples. I also thing that the sleevecaps on the gown will be a bit of a struggle to get right, so I think I'll tackle them soon too.

You're talking about the PoF-gown, aren't you? This dress is based on a portrait, but of course, the sleeves will be the same.

Yes I am. I'm going to try what I have never done before- going for copying it as far as I can. Just for fun. :-)

Exactly what I did. But now I feel that I should have doen it even more like the original, that is; found a silk woven with silver and made bobbin net from black and white silk instead of using tulle. Not that I can make bobbin lace, so I think it is taking it a little too far, but still.

Yes, some things will probably not be possible. Like the silk with silver and the net. But I plan to do the embroideries, and the appliques. And I'm mulling over a way to make the buttons. :-) I don't think I'll ever run out of things to do. Fortunately I don't have a time limit for this project, as I have nowhere to wear it. I just want it.
