Regency progress

I'm doing this one the fast and dirty way since the picnic is on Saturday and I'm still trying to balance infant, toddler and hobbies. Heh. It's coming along quickly, though.

I did skip out on the drawstring neck and put a temporary elastic neck (yay, safety pins!). I know my historically accurate friends will wince at that, but I have to accomodate a nursing infant, so I want easy access. :P I'll be making an adjustment on my current regency stays for the same reason, but I'll just be taking out one of the gusset seams and adding a loop and button.

Here's a progress picture:



So, the to-do list for this week:

Finish the maroon regency (bodice basically complete)
Alter the regency stays
Fix the brown bonnet pleats and add maroon ribbons
Make Vee's dress
Make Vee's petticoat
Find some ballet slippers for Vee?
Make a reticule
