Finished the directoire muslin gown

Yesterday I finished the muslin gown, and even managed to take photos of it before rushing down town to meet som friends and discuss our plans for today's big anti-nazi rally.

I wrote a page about it over at my costuming blog, with lots more pictures and info.




Today the nazis will march through Gothenburg, so it's unlikely that I will spend much time thinking about costuming, but I have lots of plans for garments to be worn with this wardrobe staple of the late 18th - early 19th century.

The nazi demo

 They said they were going to be 1000, they were 500. 

We were 8000-10 000. They were allowed by the police to march from their meet up place to were their demonstrations should start. But they tried to break away to walk where they wanted to walk and attacked the riot police and were detained in a park. They never reached the place where their demo was supposed to start.

Right now we are waiting to hear that the police has bussed them away, but they may still allow them to march back to their original point, which would be a bad thing. So I'm delaying my plans of taking a bath until I know that I won't have to rush down town again.

Tonight there's a risk they may go to parts of Gothenburg known for lots of leftist, feminist and LGBT friendly pubs etc and start beating people up, so we'll be out guarding the streets probably.
