almost there
The b&w bustle is almost done, it just needs some lace at the sleeve cuffs and a little futzing with the skirt bustle. I probally should have stayed up late last night finishing it up since it's soo little but I was super tired and went to bed early instead.
So my bodice is going un-trimmed - everything I tried on it I hated. It doesn't look quite "right" to me plain but I figure it's better to be slightly neo-Victorian than ugly and cheap-looking right? Have I been looking at Harper's Bazzar too much, were gowns of he 1870s always trimmed out the whazoo or is simple more historically correct than I think?
Today's task is grocery shopping and house cleaning - whoo-hoo! Hopefully I will have some energy left over tonight to see to my frock...
