behold the stays!

[jennylafleur]

Wow my friend's list sure has been quiet this week! Not that I've been doing much to fill the silence... just refreshing my page a lot. :P So for the rest of you to-busy-to-sew-lj-refreshers out there - behold the stays!! As you can see I have unashamedly pinched the line of seaming from the pattern Katherine just used but really it's too pretty not to pinch!

I'm very pleased with the stays, they are pretty, MA-ish and fit very well. Unfortunately I’m not pleased with any of the pics I've managed to take on them on me. So you get Narcissa as a model until I can try again on me. :> Oh yes and a little preview of how the outfit will look with the quilted petticoat - yummy!

Worked a bit on the pet en l'air today. I'm happy so far, the side view looks perfect. That center box pleat is bugging me though. It's plenty full at the top but looks kinda skimpy at the bottom. Must mess with it a bit more.

Wow, they turned out nicely! Love the petticoat too -I can't believe you're embroidering it by hand! You've made a lot of progress on it!

Ah! Their beautiful, really! I really love that curve towards the front, it's very elegant. That green is like butter. Really great work!

Oooooo! Sooo pretty! Especially with the petticoat. And I'm really liking the colour of the pet en l'air. It all has that fabulous, candy-confection, MA look.

So pretty!

Beautiful, I love the centre front and the way the colours contrast each other.
