chocolatepotSo this pattern is bumming around in my room. I haven't done it yet because it requires about six yards of 45" fabric, and whenever I go to Joann's the bolts run out around four, at least for the fabrics I like. But it's cooled down since the rain last night and now I'm thinking more seriously about it - I should get something online for it. Ooh, what if I could find a blue/black plaid like Peggy Olsen's S2 dress that was very similar to that pattern?
I do have a 7 yard length of 53" linen that's somewhere between dusty rose and lavender that I thought about using for it. I originally bought it in the city to be an anglaise, but you know, in the intervening time it turned out that solid pink linen is not appropriate. And then I learned that dusty rose isn't my color. I've been hanging onto it to be an Edwardian summer suit or something, thinking that with another color at the neckline or something it would work for me, but it's all silly. So I'm going to put it on Etsy! Remember when my Etsy shop was for sewn items, instead of antique books and fabric?
Let me know if you're interested - I'm going to put it up for $70 (+ shipping) but if one of you wants it first you can have it for $50 (+ shipping).
My full bust adjustment has been performed. It was surprisingly simple and fun! I'm kind of marveling at how it seems to have solved the issues that I've always had with bodices, the shoulders being too big and the center front too short, i.e. the things that literally every description of an FBA tells you it will fix. Marveling, I tell you!
(Because it rained last night and is now in the high 60s, short sleeves with cute pointed cuffs suddenly seem much more palatable. Funny how that is.)
