I went over to Helwig's place yesterday for some vital fitting assistance. My vigil gown is nearing completion, and I can see how it will look in the end, and I'm so happy with it.
The first fitting was no good at all, after I adjusted here and there and tried it on for the second time Helwig said "That's better. NOW I can believe you are my apprentice!" :)
She wasn't wrong either. The pattern is right, but no matter how right the pattern is, it has to fit a person right to work properly.
Steaming along merrily on the project. Might even finish it with weeks to spare :)
Still won't post previews though, and I'll only work on it at home from now on, I think. It's a silly thing, but I'd rather it be a surprise to most everyone until I put it on for real.
