After thirteen months...

[atherleisure]

After thirteen months, I've finished my 1868 green silk dress. I put it on to take pictures, though they're not the best because I was using the camera timer and had to do some experimenting to find where to take the pictures.

I love the line of the skirt from the side.


Other pictures and progress behind the cut...



I also got front and back pictures:




Plus I finished my first 1849 stocking last week. It's a little baggier through the ankle than I'd like, but overall it's okay. I even have photographic proof.



Now I'm three rows into the second stocking. I've got a ways to go.

While I was looking for underpinnings, I found my 1864 shawl so I finally got pictures of it on.





No pictures yet, but I finally sewed the buttons on the knitted 1868 corset. I used an 1/8" tape, which was really hard to do. I'll try it on later today and see where I want to go from here.

Thank you very much. I do like the lines of the era.
