A nearly-finished midnight blue wool spencer that needs to be done for our trip to the Jane Austen festival in Bath at the end of the month. It has that neat little basque on the back of the 1800 riding habit in J Arnold. Someday it will have a petticoat to make it a riding habit, but not for this trip. It will be worn for daytime with a white wool gauze gown. Looks snazzy on the dummy--hope it looks as good on me.
Then back to finish up those breeches (second pair this summer--Lord I hate making breeches!), and make a hat. A new ballgown is never gonna get done, so my old one will have to do. That's okay--looking forward to the ball, country dance, lectures, and tea in the Pump Room.
