PSA: Pictures uploaded
2005-09-22 01:34 pmWell, it took a few days, but I have now gotten the pictures taken at last Saturday's sewing circle uploaded to the usual place. There is even, finally, evidence that I have in fact been working on a green linen gothc fitted dress.
Just ignore my stupid look and lack of posture, please, and if you'd completely disregard the t-shirt I've got on underneath it that'd be swell. Thanks. Also, the laces are temporary - I don't intend on using a whte lace with this dress in the end.
Fairly obvious is that I need to still do buttonholes and buttons on the sleeves. I've chugged along on the eyelets though, so I only have five left to do. I think what I'll do once it's finished is lace it on and lounge around in it for a bit. I am pretty much unhindered in my movements in the plum wool GFD, but I think this one might be a bit tighter, and I want to see what the buttoning on the sleeves will do.
Speaking of the buttons, I'm still not sure what to do about them exactly. Make cloth ones out of linen or buy some period looking metal buttons? I've looked though, and I can't find any reasonably small and cheap buttons in my local shops. Guess I'll go with fabric buttons in the end. It's ok though - I kind of liked making buttons. I just have to measure them out so I'll know how many to make. After I dig out the scraps of green linen, wherever I put them.
ETA: I added one more picture to the album linked above.
