1868 Evening Bodice

[atherleisure]

I finished the evening bodice for my 1868 dress. I wound up making a belt to go with it too since otherwise the trim looked a little goofy. I think I have enough fabric that I could make tails to go on the belt, but I'm not decided on them (or excited about them) yet so it will be this way for a bit. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out.











At the end of my self-timer pictures, my son insisted on taking a picture of me on the stairs, and it turned out surprisingly well. I think it's about my favorite picture, which amuses me, considering his age.

That's beautiful! Green is a wonderful color for you. It's very elegant without the tails, but I think it'll look smart with them too.

Thank you. I love green - maybe because I look well in it! Tails on a belt were sooo popular at that time that I feel like I really ought to do them, but I'm not excited about it so I'm not fussed at present.
