The finish line


Finished fleur-de-lys gown
Originally uploaded by Catrijn.
Over the past week or so, I've slowly finished the hemming on this gown - both for the contrast band and the inner lining - and secured the lining to the main fabric around the bottom edge. Which means that it is finally, completely finished! I'm planning to wear this to 12th Night, so I probably won't get any 'all dressed up' pictures until then. Accessories have yet to be finished, although I've started on the hat. I do already have a middle layer gown to wear with this, although in the long term I'm planning to replace it with a nicer one, for which I already have the fabric. It's doubtful that I'll get that done soon, though.
