chocolatepotSo I don't know how many people here have heard/are interested, but there's been all this fuss about Tumblr being sold by Yahoo to Verizon and people are worried that its lack of lucrativity means it will be changed out of recognition and become terrible, like Delicious. (Which, might I add, was brought back from non-existence months ago but nothing else broken about the site or app has been fixed since then.) Imzy is a new site that's very similar to Tumblr, but with communities like LJ - if you want an invite, leave your email in a comment and I'll send you one. I started a group for fashion history.
I need to hem my damn circle skirt(s) and start on my secret September HSM non-clothing project, but I really want to make an 1860s morning dress that fits me a bit better than the light green one. It's just a little too long and the armscyes are a little too low and tight - I can barely fix my hair when I'm dressed. The print on the cotton is nothing at all period, too. There's a sensible part of me that would like to make a plain checked dress, but after the whole "princess" thing, which I thoroughly enjoyed (in large part because I was that little girl who was so excited at seeing a princess, once), I'm way more inclined toward a sheer. Especially if I'm only wearing 1860s one weekend per year, at the height of the summer, and not to actually reenact in. Perhaps after the Secret Project, I will do the new Regency ball dress (gauze/sheer overdress with silk? slip) for the winter, and then in the spring focus on doing first a CW sheer and then a workdress. Or, instead of the workdress, a plain but nice skirt and a sheer waist.
