Ann (almost a neighbor),
Thank you for your kind words!
Yes, finished! Hurrah! Though I think I won't wear the gown to go shopping
as I originally threatened as the train is such a bother (to myself and
others). Better for promenading sedately in book stores or less trafficked
places...
Resizing is challenging. You must be quite tall to have to add 9 inches to
the hem.
Thank you for your kind words!

The gown suits you very nicely.
And you got it Done! Hurrah!
I sympathize with the sizing issues--I tend to go to the other extreme, and
start with my measurements & add, add, add. I had to put in a 9" hem this
July, which is fairly absurd for a quickie gown to wear camping.
And what d'ye mean, OT? Historic clothing is the raison d'être of this
list, and quite on topic. :)
