Jun. 13, 2007 - Preparing for the Ball

Well, today I get to go to Grandma's.  We are going to be working on my Civil War Ball Dress.  I am so excited!  I have been envisioning what it will look like in my mind for weeks now, and we are finally going to get working on it. 

I plan on entering it in the fair, so I have to get done rather quickly.  I only hope I can do it without crying.  I get kind of frustrated when I am sewing and don't understand what I am supposed to do.  I get tired very quickly when I sew.  I am just glad that Grandma is going to be there to help me.

We are going to be doing a lot of fitting this time.  Last time, when I made a medieval dress and cloak, the front of the dress was too loose because we didn't fit the dress.  This time though...

I am hoping to post pictures of it, at least when it is finished, so you will get to see them.

So after you enter it in the fair, is there an actual dance that you're planning to wear it to? It sounds really neat! I was just going to say, "You should post pictures of it!", but I looked at your post and you ARE planning to post pictures of it! Yay! :-D
