theladyrebeccaSo now that CosCol is over, it's time to finish unpacking and start on new projects.
I was able to find the fabrics I needed for the Rapunzel commission in the fabric district, so that is first on the docket. Yesterday, I dye tested the white brocade I got, and it seemed to come out okay. I'll probably start testing the embroidery this afternoon, if I can clear out space around my sewing machine.
I've also been approved to be a pattern tester for Laughing Moon's new men's mid-Victorian vest. That means my dad will finally get his vest made! I might wind up making one for the bf at some point, too.
And I've planned a Regency tea for mid-Sept, so if I have time after those two projects, I might try to make my bf a Regency outfit.

vanessa_lynne has planned a deco museum excursion, and since I have nothing deco, I've decided I need to make something. I think it's the perfect chance to make Delysia's blue dress from Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day.
Other than that, I think it's mostly CosCol planning. This is what I want to do for next year:
1831 bathing suit. Because it is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen, I naturally need to make it. I already bought the red plaid and black wool, plus I got some really wide red fishnets to try to get the stocking look.
1833 ballgown. Which means I will also need a corded petticoat, and most likely, a new corset.
1830s day dress. I love the shape of this one, not sure about the fabric:
I'm also thinking about the riding habit from Daniel Deronda:
And then beyond that, I'm going to do the Trelawney bustle gown, and make my 1860s handsewn dress. Which reminds me that I still owe you pictures of my 1860s antique dress. I'll get on that.
Here are all the fabrics/trims I got in the fabric district to get me started:
