Because I forgot in the last post.
Also I finally added a tag for the pink dress – it’s “Pink dream dress” because last year I dreamed about this dress and it’s why I wanted to make it. I haven’t been tagging the posts because I didn’t know what to call it til now!
And wait… hold on… Joann Fabrics has a 1 yd and 3/4 and they’re holding it for me to come pick up!! This calls for an impromptu dance party.
I took up my Peggy jacket on Saturday, and also decided to take the shoulder pads out. I liked the crisp look of them, but I feel like they made my neck look short. Last year Chase stepped on my Anne skirt and pulled it from the bodice – I repaired it quickly last year for the dressform photoshoot, but I went back and reinforced it on Saturday also.
I tried on Janet and Donna and everything is good with them. Donna’s belt has gotten a little too big! Which is good but also not good LOL. I practiced doing my hair for it:
Ended up needing to use a hairpiece because my hair just wasn’t thick enough.
In other news, I have 16 days left to finish all this stuff. To-do list so far includes:
Donna:
1. Sew rhinestone chain onto headband

1. Finish wig
2. Try on

3. Make more trim for front of dress/attach it
4. Figure out skirt bustling
5. Attach roses
6. Get pleated hem made for underskirt/attach
7. Make/attach trim for seam line of underskirt
8. paint shoes
9. cover shoes
10. Style wig
11. Put hook and eyes in front of dress
12. Figure out if I want to do a shawl and/or belt??
13. Make new corset ?? (only if I have time… which at this point I’m thinking not.)
14. Make a necklace
Oh god there’s so much left to do. I guess I need to start staying up later.
I kinda started packing Saturday. I pulled out the garment rack and moved stuff out of my sewing room to the garment rack (which is currently in our master bath instead of the living room so Luna doesn’t use it as a jungle gym). But that’s all I’ve done. I’m usually half packed by now. I feel very scattered and I don’t like it.
