Trying on my spencer with the full outfit to check where the bottom edge should be. In general - it fits, in the body and the sleeves, and it looks cute when I look at my reflection in the window. But when I went up to the full-length mirror - ugh. Sooooo wrinkly, I have no idea why. And it wasn't even like the little wrinkles you get when something's slightly too tight or the curve's just a bit off, it's like the outer layer is larger than the lining. But then I pulled it down a bit into place and it's much less bad, but I am still kind of disappointed with myself.

as I look at the pictures I feel better )

Any hair suggestions? The problem is that most 1790s hair seems to involve a lot of layers and I don't have any. I don't even know.

Julie forwarded me a Museum-L email so I could sign up for the list (it is the oldest-looking mailing list I have ever been on), and I'm so glad, because all of a sudden there's a very busy discussion of getting jobs as a recent graduate. A lot of it's the usual stuff, but it's encouraging and I'm picking up a few things. I'm going to get in contact with some local museums and historical societies and see if they have projects they want grants for, and then I can write them with the understanding that they hire me if they get the money. Might lead into a job-job at some point, might just be good experience.
