frualeydisApart from bows in the front (I'm going downtown to get ribbons and some other sewing notions soon)and possibly self trim around the neck and sleeves (but I doubt it) my 18th century cotton/linen print gown is finished. I need to make sleeve ruffles and I would like to make a larger cap with pleated details, but I don't know if I'll have the time (or energy) for that before Sunday.
As you can see I have pulled the edges of the gown through the pocket slits, I like the way it looks. I am wearing the apron from my folk costume, also an 18th century repro print, and a neckerchief.

With the skirt hanging down:
And without the apron:
And yes, I will be wearing shoes and do something about my hair. I will maybe also wear the hat in my userpic.
