Thursday night: I'm going to go with my existing cream dress, and I'll possibly make myself an overbodice and a showercap turban to snazz it up a bit. This was an existing "backup" plan, and I think that's a sound idea.
Friday: I'm still going to be french! I have unpicked the sleeves so that I can insert a gusset into them. I want to be able to bend my arms.. ;)
Friday night: I have a short-sleeved white dress cut out, so I'll make that up for evening. I'm going to mend my blue open robe, which I put my foot through last time I wore it.. :(...
Saturday: I'm making up a piece out of the stash, which was originally earmarked for Regency but got shelved since I'm about a mt shorter than I usually like for a regency dress. I'm going to cut the bodice, probably as tiny a bodice as possible, and it won't be self-lined. Then we'll see how much skirt I can get out. Ideally I like a 3-panel skirt, I find it more flattering on me. If I can get a shorter 3-panel skirt, I'm thinking I'll do a white/ivory underskirt, which will make this look a bit different than the average regency dress. :D I already have a spencer and a bonnet to match, all I need is a reticule... They really don't take long! And I still have some of the silk left over from my bonnet to make it out of.
Saturday Night, I'm going to wear my red ball gown that I wore to JAFA last time. It is beautiful, and doesn't get worn enough.
Sunday is still the same "in-coohoots" plan.
This is far more achievable in my mind. It's not whole outfits to make, like I was originally planning. I don't have the energy to make a whole new ball gown, since they require so much more fancy. And I already have some lovely dresses and spencers. I also need to make one more chemise. Which is EASY!
Other than that, today I'm going to finish Tauriel. I need that for next weekend!
The weekend after is when I need the tartan. I need to get moving on that, including fixing a petticoat, preshrinking wool (which I'll do today) and drafting a collar/pockets for myself and my partner-in-tartan.
Then it's back to Gruzinkerbell. Bodice, wings and tiara. Sounds like very little left. HA!
Then I can finish all off my regency.. :\
I'm exhausted already.
