An unworthy update

So far the gold robe a la anglaise has not been worked on. But its a matter of finishing it tonight or be damned.

I have cut, sewn and pretty much tailored the burghandy gentlemans coat for Andrew. I have just to add buttons, which are simply going to be sewn on and will not be functional. I am in a quandry if I should or should not add a collar. I've seen examples with and without. I may add one. It may not be entirely correct, but its for show. And I don't have the funds to be entirely correct.

I will make tonight the gold vest to go with the burghandy coat. A simple affair, again, it will have buttons with no function. Time is of the essence here. Filming begins on saturday at 12pm.

I have yet to add a slit in each side of the damask underskirt to allow for proper walking. With the petticoats underneath there is not much room for the normalities. And since walking is an essential in this life, well I ought to make it happen.

And so here I sign off to sew yet again.

The seam so far

I gave in and decided to make the robe a la anglaise to my size. It is very very good luck that the girl is somewhat my size.

So I provide picture proof of things so far. I am to make a burghandy coat for our leading man.

It has taken me roughly 4 days to put together this dress. And I have yet to hem and finish it properly.
