More Waiting...

******UPDATE****

I decided to say "eff it!" since I just found my desired dress form on sale. It's on its way to me now.*****

Things are just against me this month aren't they?
As I was about to begin fitting on my bodice, I realized that I have no dress form. At least one that isn't completely destroyed:

I might be able to tape her together then add padding where needed, just so I can cobble something together to put my stays on for fitting. I want a Uniquely You dress form, but I just can't afford it this month.
Stay with me folks, this could get interesting!

A Day Off And The House To Myself....

What!? 18th century sewing actually underway?!
This is just a test of the JP Ryan Robe a l'Anglaise pattern, with some almost-proper cotton print I had lying around.

I currently have a crappy pair of stays I'm forced to use for fitting purposes. They will work until I can make a better pair.
