Sorry, Mrs. C.: you thought the gargantuan cuff mad and Victorian, and it was definitely Steampunkish, but I thought it might attack me, Zombie-like, so the lace went away. For this weekend's event it's better so, for I will be playing an airship stewardess. Later we can address a more proper lace effect, with better lace, better placed.
What we lack for this event:
- overskirt belt
- sewing bias folds above the skirt flounce
- tacking down the overskirt trim (the bias fold part of that will come later)
- lace at neckline
- airship insignia
- hat!
I rather like the sleeves without lace. Black venice lace would be beautiful. Perhaps the white lace was too much contrast with the muted colors.
ReplyDeleteI forgive you! It is all so beautiful and I love the idea of a Steampunk air steward. No "coffee, tea or me?" nonsense I am sure!
ReplyDeleteTime flies by! I hope you have fun at the event this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe dress turned out lovely - can't wait to seeing you wearing it! Don't forget your camera :)

Thank you all! Yes, I shall be a most proper steward, plus I shall be armed :}
ReplyDeleteYou have a good idea about using the black lace. Post event, time for research.
This project has flown...what with so much else going on.
Hugs,
