Well, no in-progress updates or anything! Half a year later, I picked up the project again about two weeks before the Lumieres Summer Pique-nique. I wanted something new to wear, as I’d worn the same pink francaise to two other picnics at the same location already. Also, I got the idea of buying a big red wig to go with the outfit 🙂
I was kind of annoyed by the construction process — partly because I was rushing so much, partly because I was doing the second round of fitting all by myself (would have helped to have another hand), and partly because I wasn’t impressed by the color combo anymore. Oh and I realized I’d never bought matching thread, and these are colors that I never have around. Yeah, great. There’s some wonkiness with the zone bodice front that still irks me, but once I got it all on — first time was right before the event — I was rather charmed. So it’s ok. I’m cool with it now.
