So far, in about a month, I have managed to make:

Chemise and drawstring casing

Bodiced petticoat with casing

Redid chemise casing bc it was too stiff

Altered a pattern and made a dress mockup

Completely removed said petticoat bodice bc of bulk, attached waistband with straps instead

(More or less) Finished actual dress, will have to redo some gathers

Hopefully complete spencer mockup tonight

Hopefully complete actual spencer with train this weekend, god willing. I've never worked with silk rayon...

And if there's time, make a red version of the spencer with points and no train that I always imagine Teresa would wear pre-war.

I haven't sewn this much in my life and quite frankly, I can't wait to be done. I wish I had another month but if I stick to my schedule I can be finished and never rush this much again. I can do hand sewing on the plane and in Spain. GAH!

#;ooc #(thankfully I had actually more or less finished my stays BEFORE this. I am SO thankful i had)#(bc if not none of this would be possible. just need to finish the binding on it)#(i am so so exhausted from this and i haven't sewn this much in years. it's probably been almost...7 years)#(since i last made a “real” costume and not a mockup.)#(besides my stays that is)#(my poor teresa partisan outfit is still unfinished 5 years later LOL)#(i'll post pictures eventually when i don't look like a hobo who hasnt slept in years)#(honestly though. for my first time sewing this pattern and having to come up with alterations and adjustments on the fly)#(i'm really quite shocked)#(and also BIG THANKS to aranov and sam for helping me and listening to me go crazy u are the MVPS!!!)#(idk what i would do without you guys)
