Hm. New gown?
Apr. 20th, 2010 10:24 pmFirst off, where on earth are the two spools of silk thread I bought two weeks ago? ARGH.
Secondly, I love the new gown that I made for my Lady Joan outfit. I love the color, I love the fact that it's very light weight wool and I'll be comfy in it even on hot days, and I love all of those damned buttons.
But I'm afraid that it doesn't drape very well in the skirt. I dunno, maybe I need to line it, but I don't think that would even really do the trick. I might rip out a couple of the seams and see if I can fix it by stretching the bias edge more or less. But since it's *really* lightweight wool, it just kind of floats... sticks to stuff. It just didn't really hang.
Maybe I'm being too picky, but I'm going to be a bit self-indulgent about it. Only because I can't find the silk with which I have to finish the seams. Gr.
( ETA: Ok, I'll be even more self-indulgent and add some pics. )
