In the meantime, I've been drooling over a new to me site of the most gorgeous extant clothing for sale. It was posted to the Greater Bay Area Costumers Guild yahoo list a couple days ago and I haven't stopped drooling on my keyboard since! (Well, there was that 3 hour period in which the husband was using the computer and picked up a wicked virus that the good folks at Dell had to spend 2 hours scrubbing from the hard drive. Yikes!) So many pretties, so little time! This red silk regency is especially of interest to me.
Take a look at the bib front and it's lining.
I'm certainly no expert in this area, but the bib front frocks I'm acquainted with have the more typical side front closing lining. It also has bust darts. Yay!
A pair of these soft wrap stays would be a great thing to have too. Not needing a lot of support could be a good thing for a change.
Looking at the back I can't decide whether the upside down L shaped bit is a separate piece or a facing. I'm leaning toward facing. But the right side looks like it could have a seam on my monitor. I can't get a clear enough enlargement to be positive, but based on the description, I think I'd interpret it as a facing.
I'm also deeply in love with this 1870's striped bustle. Check out the back.
I lovelovelove, the solid color back panel! and the sleeves!!!!
Alright, enough computer time for me. The laundry bell went off an hour ago, and is still waiting for my attention. And I'm assuming my child would like dinner sometime tonight.
