Oh god I just spent so much money on fabric and bonnets ... I am so bad at millinery that I wanted to buy a form from Timely Tresses, and I eventually decided that it made the most sense to buy the finished Ophelia (which is Regency but has a pretty wide brim, and was on sale for $40 off) as well as a Parmelia form (actually 1830s style). I'm going to want both of them eventually for sure, so why not? Also got a yellow striped cotton for the gown - I am not normally a big yellow-wearer, but my checked 1820s dress is yellow and it looked surprisingly well on me - plus a few cotton sateens for later corsets.

Sewed a channel for the busk this evening, which is pretty good. I meant to sew more but intending to sew led me to feel an intense need to clean - so I went so far as to scrub the bathroom floor! I have learned in my life to grab onto the times I feel the need to clean and take advantage of them, because the rest of the time it will literally not occur to me.

I saw a Rejected Princesses post on my dash today and because I am rationally-irrationally irritated by Rejected Princesses I'm just going to go off on it here. ( I dislike the whole project )

ANYWAY.
