Half-finished spencer

[frualeydis]

Now it need some more hooks, all the eyes and a collar. The pictures are taken before I sewed any of the hooks, so it's only pinned on. You can see that I will need to open the shoulder seams (which are way back on the back) and reduce the slope to get the neck right. This is a common problem for me when using period patterns or patterns taken from preserved garments. My shoulders are totally straight so most patterns just don't fit. But I never give up and believe that somehow the angles of the shoulders on period patterns will fit me.

Gorgeous colour!!!

I really want to get on and make my regency but I simply have too many projects of my own to do and not enough time to those!!

Nice to see yours coming on so beautifully.

It's from Kvinnligt mode under två sekel The only thing I changed was that I omitted the cuffs.
