Anne (named after Anne Boleyn for the lack of a head and the fact that she
often wears Tudor era clothing) is only wearing underwear as I just used her
to balance the skirt for my mid 1850s day dress, I'm currently cartridge
pleating the skirt (it's gathered but I still need to sew it to the waist
band) and after that I need to sew the darts on the bodice, finish the edges
of the bodice, sew on the hooks & eyes (thank you the inventor of hook & eye
tape), make a collar, and then get the bonnet finished (at the moment it's
just a basic straw shell and needs a curtain and lining). I've got a week
and a half to do all this and I'm hoping it will be not be too hot to wear
it on the night.

Subject: [h-cost] What's your dressmaker's wearing?
It's that time of year: holiday parties, winter balls, company dinners,
New Years Eve, cocktail parties,12th Night, You might even be
planning a sojourn to a balmy tropical locale. Whatever the reason,
h-costumers are probably making something. So, what's your
dressmaker's dummy wearing today?

PS. It's ok to run into the sewing room, toss something spiffy on the
dummy and
*then* tell us about it. It's also ok to tell what's on your
worktable, at the sewing
machine or in the embroidery hoop.
