Things I do not have time for

chocolatepotI was browsing FB today and it suddenly seemed possible for me to make a quilted petticoat. I don't know. I'm not ordering the satin yet. But I feel like I could do it! Maybe that I should!
Put in three pintucks above each wrist in the checked dress. I'm not sure if that's enough to shorten the sleeves as much as they need, and it's too cold to check. Maybe I will test it tomorrow morning.
Today in Dress Fun Time: Edwardian stuff, mostly. One dress in fragments I stuck in the goodbye pile, and a net skirt with no number that I'm going to keep for dressing. (If we get the money for the damned dress forms! Why won't they hurry up?) One wedding dress ca. 1895 that's kind of shattering but it's so glorious and impressive that I had to keep it. Some of the Edwardian dresses were fairly large, probably about my size or bigger, which was interesting. One dress I could tell was something fancy, and it turned out to be from a big-deal designer from Fifth Avenue, which was exciting. I love the period to look at but it's the worst for patterning.
