Silk it is!

theladyrebeccaI tried to find wool for the archery dress, but there was just nothing in my price range locally or online. However, I found a 5yd remnant of silk yesterday at the fabric store (it's like a home dec dupioni, but heavier weight and not so many slubs), so silk it is. It was on sale, 25% off the remnant price of $9.99, so I figured it was the smarter option, even if it wasn't ideal.
I also dyed my silk organza yesterday. It came out slightly paler than I had hoped, but I think it will work just fine.
I've been working more on the corded petticoat, too, now that I'm back in Seattle. At this point, I have 14 rows done. It's starting to get more body, so I'm hopeful that I'm actually doing the right thing.
