I ought now to pack, tidy up and clean, but there's too much of the slack-jawed exhaustion going on. Not even the tea helped. This is a serious matter, but I can't muster the energy.

I took pictures yesterday, some were OK.

Nicole, who borrowed my new gothic army dress looked absolutely smashing in it - proof positive that this is the best style garb ever.

I need to abuse my linen circle veil to make it floppy too. Dunno how exactly.

I break in linen by soaking it in water, wringing the excess out, twisting in into a ball, then freezing it. Then I take it out and get it untwisted while it's still frozen. Sometimes it takes a couple rounds, but usually breaks the fibers down enough to un-stiffen it.

I recommend hot chocolate and relaxing for a few hours and *then* starting the work. It's no use pushing yourself only to collapse in a heap.

Agreed on the gothic fitted look being #1 ín "how to make anyone look stunning". It's a wonder people aren't using it today.
