I've decided I love the look of the pink 18th c gown from the back and sides but not the front. I'm going to take of the shredding trim and just make it a zone front gown. I have enough fabric to just re-do the front. I look better in those anyway. I would like, sometime before next year, to make a cotton gown, to fix the red and white dress, and make a simple shortgown. I could probably do the shortgown in an hour this weekend but the rest will take a bit long and, with Pennsic coming up, probably won't happen for a while.

I didn't cut out the Campi dress last night. (Hehehe...Campi :-D ) That will get done this weekend. Anyone think putting green velvet trim around the bottom of the skirt of that dress is a bad thing? Good thing? No opinion? I've seen some sketches/paintings of similar styles with some sort of skirt decoration a bit above the hem but they typically have trim around the edges of the bodice as well....

I need to sew up one Spanish Surcote as well. I have one cut out, I just never bothered to sew it. And since I specifically made it for Pennsic...I probably should get crackin'!
