mellymellI didn't have time to do this before I left and since I'm still not able to get my ALEP pics off the camera, I might as well do it now. Some of these are really grainy because I've had to fiddle with contrast and such. The lighting in my sewing room is not only poor for working but even worse for taking pictures, especially at night.
Undergown/lining gown mockup:
In case it's not obvious, the long sleeve is for the undergown in the crinkled metallic fabric and the short one is for the lining gown, which is white crepe de chine.
Overgown mockup, front:
Overgown mockup, back:
Overgown sleeve detail:
And of course the obligatory "I can halp?" cat pic:
Mogwai is a good halper. :)
The rest of the pics are here, including a couple of really bad, late at night pictures of me in the mockup taken in the mirror.
As far as an update, I got the neckline on the lining gown hemmed on Monday before my eye really started to kill me. I've found after getting that done that I need to take in the shoulder seams a little, which means pulling out at least the cap of the sleeves and redoing that. I'm not sure what changed from mockup to final, but the silk was really springy when I was trying to mark/cut it so it may have gotten out of shape a little. Could just be a difference in materials as well. Where the mockup was pretty snug, the silk fits more gracefully. So, once I get that adjustment made, I just need to get a hook and eye in above the zipper and hem the bottom and the lining dress will be done. Then it's on to the undergown.
Speaking of my eye, it's much better today. No pain to speak of, though it's still a little swollen, feels kind of funny and my vision is a bit blurry. I more so just feel like I'm really tired. I at least got a really good night's sleep last night. I'm still pretty sensitive to light so I think I'm going to hold off one more day on the running. It's quite sunny out today and I have a lot to do to catch up from being gone and out of commission.
