A light at the end, which is not a train for once

The Gold Gown is complete. The lace at the cuffs is sewn on, the hems are sewn and its ready to go!

I'm scouting ebay for some edwardian peices that I can use. And I get to keep them afterwards, because I don't think I can pull off an edwardian blouse myself. I did go op shopping yesterday and found a blouse that I can pull apart and possibly make something out of. I'll see. At the moment I have my eye on this whit tuck and lace bastiste blouse and a black bodice and skirt.

I sewed the majority of the gold vest together last night. Again I wont make button holes functional as I probably won't have time. I'll see. Filming has been pushed to the 6th, naturally I won't be there as I'll be at Twicon. But I hope to get out to our directors during the week to make sure the actors can get in and out of their costumes without me. Or he might change his mind and film on the sunday. I don't know and it doesn't matter to me. As long as they can dress themselves properly. Its one thing to dress yourself in modern clothes its simple. But historical fasion dictates some things go on first and how and where they are pinned matters!

We'll see how we go!
