No, I am going to use the 1910s Butterick reprinted pattern in black wool from the local shop ($4/yard) with white cuffs and collar. It will be more figure-flattering with the high waistline, and easier to make since I can use a machine. Plus I don't need as much fabric and can use the limited amount in the shop instead of ordering lots from online. I should get some dye so I can wear the Renoirs (not quite accurate but fairly close, and in black with a black dress the scallops won't be noticeable) - oh, and I need to get around to doing the buttons to fit.

Owen is in New York for the climate change rally, so jealous. My life is so boring. Today I bagged things really fast, that's what it is now.
