The Dummy that is dressed is Maud's, (but we won't tell, because the gown isn't
hers).? I had a request from the Empress Carlota and? so the sewing basket is
filled with goodies of antique blue polished cotton, white dimity, tiny blue
fringe and wonderful black Chantilly lace. The patterns are made and the corset
and undies are cut. I am fast at work on "Cut Down to Size 2" looking forward
to a second historical costume exhibition in miniature.
For myself, a 1835 Lowell mills dress...but I have until May to finish that.

Subject: Re: [h-cost] What's your dressmaker's dummy wearing?I always love it
when this post comes around. I have been busy this year with 3 shows all
trying to go up at the same time. I just removed my 1890's walking suit from
"Penny" so it could go to a high school festival - it needed a lot of repair
from the last time it was worn. "Petula" is wearing a 1776 style gown to be
modified for side hoops - she gets a whole new skirt for that.
"Priscilla" wearing only yellow braids and a straw hat I took away (ie
'rescued') from my 4 year old granddaughter.
Happy sewing to all of you, may your thread be strong and your seams be
straight.
