... now, in fact, completly done. So I have finished the trim on Lady Taylors dress, it now goes into the completed pile until it is taken home by it's intended.
What next you ask? Well, let us revisit the list...
The Lady Selwyn
Underpinnings (corset and corded petticoat) I decided against making the petticoat, found a cotton hoop skirt for far less $ than it would take to make one, maybe next season...
Celtic Ensemble (chemise, underskirt, front lacing overdress, and shoulder sash) I am waiting on 5 more yards of trim to finish the overdress...
'Court' Gown- which is not really a court gown but sounded better to me than calling it 'really pretty dress' and it is by far the fanciest I will have thus far- (chemise, underskirt, overdress, full sleeves, and some form of head gear)
My Lord Husband ALL DONE
Celtic Ensemble (great kilt and shirt)
My dearest friend, Lady Taylor ALL DONE
Celtic Ensemble (chemise, skirt, and strapless bodice)
'Italian style' gown (underdress/smock, half bodice with attached overskirt)
Our beloved sister, Lady Stephanie
'Italian style' gown (chemise and gown w/underskirt)
Celtic Ensemble- as yet TBD
So in a nut shell, I have my 'CE' overdress to trim, and my 'court' gown to make. One ensemble for Lady Stephanie and the addition to my list of one ensemble for my lord husband's mother, Lady Long. Not to bad considering MDRF is still a few months away...
Lady Taylor and I are planning a VARF trip or 2, but we both have garb enough for those occasions at this point. I can't wait to get a RF fix in!!!!


A very lovely gown, and a fine brocade. How long did it take you to make this gown Lady Selwin?
