chocolatepotFeeling a bit off today, but I went to work for the afternoon. Glad I did, even though I should probably have stayed away - there's a lot going on, and it would have complicated things to only have Sue here.
I'm going to do a big write-up for this dress on my blog, not quite an old-time dress diary but close, and use all the pictures I took while patterning - because this is easily the worst pattern in Regency Women's Dress. It's the most complicated and really needed several pages and photos to describe, where the order of operations for a lot of the others might not be immediately obvious but if you just read the text they make sense. Fortunately, nobody realized how incredibly deficient it was because nobody else is into the 1820s! So posting it all will let me a) clarify for RWD-readers, b) share more photos, and c) explain why I couldn't put them in the book. Plus it will get the ball rolling for me to write up all the errata.
