...and in an effort to fend off yet another horrible mood brought on by too many nightmares and family conflicts.

A little while ago I mentioned trying desperately to make a dress on my own, and a few folks asked to see pictures of it when it was done. I finished it last week, and actually managed to wear it to an SCA event.





Me, at the Dance Academy in Northpass. Wearing a dress I made all by myself. Okay, mermaidlady helped me make the pattern and cut out the pieces, but the construction was all solo, damnit. And it even kinda-sorta fits.

Apologies for all the pictures lately, and for those of you who wound up getting bombarded with this both here and on facebook, but... well, right now it's a lot easier than writing about what's going on inside my head, because it's not too pretty in there.

It's just linen. I got about a thousand yards of it (give or take) many years ago, figuring on making a bias dress, but mermaidlady gently suggested that I just learn to make a cotehardie instead.
