The 1790's dress is done. It was a pretty nice, quick project, and it makes into a nice dress, but it's also SO BORING looking compared to what I normally make. Like, I showed it to my mom last night, and she was like, "and that's it? You're not going to add any trim or anything to it? It looks like a lot of nightgowns I had in the 70s." And tbh, she's right. I'm hoping I can get some pictures of it on tomorrow (as in, actually go outside) because it's the only day that's not supposed to be rainy, but also, we actually wound up with snow over the weekend, which has now pretty much all melted, and combined with the rain, the ground is probably extremely messy. And though I cut off some of the train, this white cotton dress still has a tiny bit. Sooo... not sure what to do about those pictures...

It's also weird, because I have shared pretty much nothing about this dress anywhere. Like, I posted one in-progress pic on Patreon, but because I've been running the VictorianFebruary challenge on Instagram, and also because it went together so quickly, I haven't even shared any pics there. I will have a youtube video out about it next week, though.

And now it's time to start the next dress! I'm using the TV 1880s teagown pattern as a base to reproduce my antique 1890s teagown (except in light blue wool, because brown linen = ugly). I think I need to pull the antique out and study it a bit more, but I'm also hoping to cut out and sew together the mockup tonight. Ideally, I would love this to be a two-week or less project, since it doesn't have much in the way of trim, but that might be wishful thinking.
