Some Progress

[atherleisure]

I finished off the waistband on the c. 1805 dress and started the skirt embroidery. I haven't gotten very far yet. I am pleased with it so far.



I also spent a few nights working on my cross-stitching this week, but it doesn't look very interesting so I'm not going to post another picture yet. I finished another seven 10x10 blocks, but it's still very much part of the background. Maybe the next row of blocks will get into the interesting parts of the picture.

I've done a fair bit on my 1902 knit vest as well and have about 9" of the front or back done. I'm planning to take pictures of my 1908 eyelet dress in the next couple of weeks so I'll measure then to see just how long this vest should be.

So lovely! That golden ribbony bit looks exactly like the inspiration, with the shading. It pinged in my brain right away.
