Monday Progress Update: Apr 23

Thing 1's flower dress is done except for its belt.  I'm still deciding why to do with that.

 I think I'm leaning towards this belt, but I"m still not sure.


Here's her accessories: a headband and wristlets. ; If I have time I'm going to make two more kanzashi for shoe clips.




I also finished my SF/F entry.  I added the trim to the skirt:



And made this sceptre:



All I have left is to finish the circuit for the skirt, which I'm actively avoiding.



I also did some embellishing work on my historical dress:  I added lace and bows to the stomacher:



And added trim to the skirt:



And the petticoat:



So much handsewing I rubbed my thumb raw!  I also covered my shoes:

But they still need decoration.



Since those are mostly done until my wig shipment comes in I started to work full on my Cinderella dress.

  2. OMG! I'm so glad I came across your blog. (Thank you A-Z challenge)

    Your work is beautiful. I love 18th century clothing. I'm not at your skill level, but I've made a couple of 'play' dresses for my granddaughter. It was so much fun and she loves them. :)

    I can't wait to see more.
