There's just WAY too much on the to-do list, and it gets worse every time I post a "costume analytics," but here's what in the immediate-right-now future:
1795 Open Robe
1880s Victorian Corset - Debbie
18th c. Stays - Olympe
1750s Riding Habit
1780s-90s Zone-Front Pierrot
So these are the things in my immediate future. Of course, there's also the redingote, the winter-white caraco, the voile gaulle, a new pair of stays for myself..../sigh. I best be sewing then!!
