The Glinda project really wiped me out, more than I expected. So I am reassessing plans.
I'm still determined to finish the 1860s dress for this weekend's tea, even though I am ignoring it right now and have spent an inordinate amount of time this week goofing off with The Girl. I still need to make a whole bodice, but even though it's a new decade for me, I understand the basics of 19th century construction so I am not worried. Not saying I could do it in my sleep, but I think I can pull it together. I am excited and apprehensive for the tea.
I have ditched plans for any new Regency stuff for the 11/15 ball. For a few days I was even considering trying to whip together a new coat for The Man and a new dress for myself. But I know I can't make anything nice in just a week. As much as I hate wearing something that is old/wrong, I just can't bear to make a hack job of my nice fabric when I am so broke. So I will wear my bright green voile, and my HB will wear his 1780s suit. I really want to make him the Laughing Moon regency coat and I will wait until I can do it right. The ball organizer plans to have more Regency era events in the future, so I am sure there will be an opportunity.
That will leave me (after this weekend) to focus on modern clothes (The Girl needs pants bad!), christmas stuff, and a ballgown for January. The theme isn't finalized yet, but it might be 1860s, and if so I am just going to go with it. I still have the feeling that I don't want to "waste" my good fabric on hoop dresses, but I am sure I will get over it once I find a ballgown plate that inspires me.
