Life is so busy, and it's Thursday so I don't have time to work on things. But I wanted to put up a quick view of the back of my new Regency period gown. I'm very happy with the fabric covered buttons. I got the little Dritz kit and made them myself to match the sleeve cuffs and (you can't see it in this photo) the contrasting underskirt. The outer layer is tea dyed muslin and the underneath layer is an old ripped bedsheet that I cut up. The lace bits on the sleeve were a treasure haul from the Greater Bay Area Costumer's Guild annual bazaar where a gal had a huge plastic tub full of lace scraps in ziploc bags that she was just giving away! The sign said, Free Lace. Who could resist? Then of course I had to make a whole dress to go with them.
