theladyrebeccaI'm so excited for Steamcon this weekend!
I have pretty much everything done. My patch did not come today (grumble), so assuming it comes tomorrow (which it better!), I need to stitch that on my bodice. Otherwise, everything on the Ravenclaw bustle is done! I even stitched my velvet wand pouch on to the bottom of the bodice to act like a wand pocket. And I'm going to be wearing it with my Ravenclaw prefect button and my time turner, because the gold coordinates so well. I nixed the collar/tie idea - it was just going to be too suffocating up at the neck. However, everything fits great! The tail pleats are definitely heavy, so I'll probably unhook it for dancing, lest I topple over, but I do love the way it all looks together. Now I just have to figure out how to fit in the car in my bustle gown...
And I put together a look for Saturday, too, so I don't have to commit the faux pas of wearing the same thing twice. I'm pairing my 18th c riding habit jacket with a lacy Victorian looking blouse (which I actually made into a fitted bodice today), and I'm bustling up the red riding habit skirt over my ruffly bustle petticoat. Hopefully the cream blouse won't clash with the white petticoat. All I have left to do on it is figuring out how to bustle the skirt so that it will be removable without any sign that I'd done anything to it, and add two more small h&e to my lacy blouse (I ran out). And I might go to Value Village and pick up one of their little topper hats, since I'm already quite fantastical looking in this outfit.
I also put together an Ikea dresser today. No more shoving clothes into jammed full plastic drawers!
