So... To prepare for the upcoming season at MDRF, I have enlisted the aid of the Ladies Taylor and Stephanie. Neither have much experience sewing, but if they want their garb finished in time they must assist! Here is the project list for this year.
For Myself:
Corset
Pomegranate front lacing dress (in the same pattern as last season's green dress) with matching underskirt and sleeves
For Lady Taylor:
Corset
Quasi-Blackwatch plaid front lacing dress (same pattern as my dress) with 2 mix and match underskirts
For Lady Stephanie:
Doublet front Elizabethan style gown with matching underskirt.
As I am putting this up while at work I do not have pattern numbers in front of me, but I will get that info up here soon.
The ladies did come to our first of many sewing parties on July 3. Lady Stephanie cut out all 1,596 pattern pieces for her dress (yes, that's an exaggeration, but it was a lot!) and was able to begin cutting fabric for her underskirt. Lady Taylor began on her corset and I on mine. She got all her fabric pieces cut and got a good portion into the meat of the construction. The pieces are all sewn together and she is ready to begin sewing the channels for boning. Preliminary fit testing shows we were spot on in our measurements and pattern adjustments. Woot! I still need to buy some more fabric for mine. I ran out of canvas/duck and will need to make a trip to the store soon... If I can tear myself away from WoW long enough to do so... ;-)




Tis a happy day, to witness your return, here, and in the r/f.com realm! welcome back M'Lady!
