My last post was so long that I forgot to discuss one more detail of my ensemble: Gloves.
Regency women had a lot of gloves. Long, elbow-length gloves for evening, short leather gloves for warmth outdoors, lacy little mitts to keep hands warm but fingers free, etc.
I should wear gloves with my outfit. But... I'm not a glover, even though I know how, and I can work with leather. Being ambitious, I have ordered leather for making gloves, however... I only have a month! So I have also bought a digital pattern to make lacy fingerless mitts. I can work on those while watching TV at night, so it's more likely I will make those than real gloves. But... we'll see!
Here's a picture of the mitt pattern:
Keeping it short and sweet! Back to cleaning my worktable....
