Watch Still Star-Crossed on ABC/Hulu! R&J fanfiction about an arranged marriage between Rosaline and Benvolio, by Shonda Rhimes, with Doctor Who-style color-blind casting. Is the costuming accurate? Not in the least, they keep involving 18th and 19th century pieces for some reason. But it's very pretty. And it's like Shonda Rhimes looked into my soul and arranged almost every part of the storyline for my id. (Although she could have done better casting for Benvolio ... I have pretty broad tastes, but nothing about him is appealing. The Prince is GORGEOUS, though.)

Look at this bastard. I wish I were a) rich and b) skinny so I could justify buying that button. Ah, heck, I'll ask for an invitation just in case.

Process for petticoat I'm working on:

1) Cut two rectangular panels (done)
2) Sew into tube with slit at top of one seam (done)
3) Hem (started)
4) Cut out waistband and back/straps
5) Pleat, hem, attach

If I can't get this mostly done this evening and tomorrow evening, I'm going to bring it to work on Friday (since it's for a work costume).
