I’ve got to get a better photo of it to post, but for now, Chase got me this for an anniversary present:
It’s me in my Belle ballgown, as drawn by our friend Jon Wollack! I’m really excited to have a piece of his artwork. I can’t wait to get this up on the wall in my sewing room – so now I’ve got two things I gotta get framed! I’ve got to start looking for Michael’s framing coupons.
I haven’t updated about Meg in a while.
The pleats are partially handsewn on at the moment, and the lower parts are pinned. I’ve still got a lot to do around the sides and back. I’m going to my grandma’s this weekend and taking it with me to keep working on it.
The purple around the neck is the fabric I got for the sashes. As I mentioned before, it’s a little darker than what I originally wanted (especially in this non-flash photo…) but I looove the weight and drape of it.
