HSF #2 - UFO
Feb. 11th, 2013 01:41 pmGranted, it might have been 1.5 weeks late, but I did finish my UFO project for the Historical Sew Fortnightly. My riding habit!
The waistcoat is a false front, which I pinned to my stays, but I think it works really well. And there's still a little tacking I'd like to do to the lining on the collar and cuffs. I'm also still debating about adding the fur trim to the hem of the jacket, like in the inspiration portrait. But other than that, it's done!
And here's some visual proof:
The original portrait inspiration, and my "long pose" (three 20-min sessions of this pose)
