And a picture from Saturday
Oct. 16th, 2007 08:39 amIt's Matt and I at the annual SASS shoot at Ormsby Ranch in Cleburn. Matt is in his 1880 Cold Stream Guard uniform, looking especially handsome. I am wearing the 1878-9 bodice and fantail skirt I made from Truly Victorian patterns 225 & 420. I still need to add trim and such, but it was finished enough for the event.
So, next up is me trying to figure out exactly how and what to add as trim to the bodice and skirt. Also, I'm going to make an overskirt for it.
A friend loaned me her hat, which I totally fell in love with. I was never really a hat person, but this hat really made the outfit! So I'm going to have to look into the whole make your own hat thing now. And of course, if one is wearing a hat like this, one is always armed. Those hat pins are very, very pointy....
