2015 Goals
Jan. 6th, 2015 09:17 pmI know I've posted about a couple of these recently, but here are my current goals for this year:
1. 1831 Archery dress (still haven't decided whether it will be wool or silk)
2. 1829 Orange ballgown (kind of peeved that they posted my inspiration plate in the new Squeals, but I'm not changing my mind since I already have all the fabric)
3. Corded petticoat to go with both of the above dresses (already started)
4. 1830s bathing suit (I need to find black and white plaid cotton- why is that so hard!)
5. Professor Trelawney artistic reform gown for the CosCol Ice Cream Social
6. Daniel Deronda riding habit (already have the fabric)
7. Little Red costume from Into the Woods
8. Striped silk bustle gown. (Or maybe a sack-back. I found silk at Hancocks today for $8/yd, and I'm determined to not let it sit in the stash.)
Edit: I almost forgot! Also on my list is my handsewn 1860s gown. At this point, I'm still determined to do this fully handsewn, so who knows when/if I'll ever finish it. If I let myself do it by machine, I'm sure I would have finished it months ago...
Here are some pictures of my inspirations:
