A Dress for "Marianne"....
EXTRA! EXTRA!
Elinor reembarks on the ship of historical costuming.
Or perhaps, "big" projects.
"Marianne" is going to be playing the piano at a wedding next week and wanted a new dress to wear for it. Doubtless, she will have even more need of a fancy dress in the upcoming months. Anyway, so I have the responsibility of making this dress for her by next week.
Marianne was so kind as to cut out all the pattern pieces for me (thank you, kind Marianne!) but I get to sew it.
Of course, the fabric is purple because that is Colonel Brandon's (who???) favorite color. Well, it's also the colors of the wedding she'll be playing at.
I did not take time to make a mock-up (my bad, I know), but I did pin the pieces to her and figured out any alterations I'll need to make. I'll post pictures of my progress, and of course, of the finished product.
Have a wonderful day and keep cool! (It's so un-autumnly hot here!!)

Anyway, the dress is going to be quite lovely! The colour is beautiful and I like that style. Happy sewing and good luck to "Marianne" as she plays at the wedding!

Very observant of you! ;-) I was wondering when someone was going to notice there was more to the post then just sewing... ;-) Hopefully soon we'll put up a post explaining it in more detail. :-D

I was wondering if you'd be interested in guessing on my "guess that movie quote" post. I'd love to you and "Marianne," "Margeret," and your "Mama" to participate.

Very mature of me. ;-)
