It's that time of year: holiday parties, winter balls, theater season,

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 marvelous on
the dummy and *then* tell us about it. It's also ok to tell what's on
your design sketchbook, worktable, at the sewing machine or in the
embroidery hoop.
On my worktable - fabric and pattern for three sets of 1776 stays
(Diderot), and three sets of pocket hoops to go with.
In a bag 2 linen and one cotton shift (Costume Closeup pattern).
Hanging on a hook a bag full of sample fabrics that I have to
bully persuade the ladies to like.
Hanging on a rail, the first dress I ever made as a freelance (1983
thanks for asking) which I am fiddling with to make into a 1780's dress.
And waiting to be torn into three petticoats, a bolt of calico - muslin to you.
I should be working, shouldn't I, not sitting at the computer?
