I've sewn a costume to her face...

Here's a sneak peak on where I'm at with my oh-so-fancy Ascot dress I stitched last night while watching Titanic. I'm a little bummed because the stripe is too small to see except close up *sniff*.

Ideally I wanted wider sized stripes but ended up not finding the right size anywhere. Sheesh, who knew perfectly striped silk would be impossible to find?! I kinda wish I went with the silk polka dot fabric I would have chosen if it was period correct {darn those nit-picky project rules!}. Even though I'm suffering from fabric remorse I know everything will turn out fine in the end. It just needs some big ol' trimming and it will be fabulous.
