The main under-skirt and the bodice of the dusty wine Victorian gown have been sewn. This fabric is a lot harder to work with. It slips and slides all over the place, and it frays a lot.
Now it's time to start embellishing. I've pulled out several different laces and ribbons. I don't know at this point which ones will get used and which ones won't - I know which ones I'd like to use, but it all depends on if the colour and motifs work. First I'll make a row of pleated ribbon for the bottom edge, and then I can decide on laces.
This gown will be very different from the minty-gray one. For this dusty wine one I'm planning a separate train, and a pouffy over-skirt. This gown will have far less flowers - bigger ones. I bought some lovely mulberry paper roses at Michael's that I'm hoping will work.
