I want everyone to know how much I adore my dearest Niamh! I cannot express just how thankful and happy I am to know her! I have been wanting a friend for so long who shared my passion for historical costuming (among other things) who also lived near me (very near me in fact! What is it, two blocks??) and my wish has been granted. I know we have many happy years ahead of us, full of sewing and traveling and tea-taking!

She has gifted me with the organdy fabric I had been craving, as well as a gigantic Civil War book which I shall attack once my homework is finished! I've finally decided on the style for my new sheer dress, now that I've got documentation of it.

Ta-da!

A high-necked, short-sleeved sheer! Although, I'll need to make long baste-in sleeves to make it Athenaeum appropriate...
 

Hehe! I can't wait to make it! Hopefully it'll be done in time for Knott's, although that event is in February so, weather-permitting I can wear it. I'm already planning to wear my Swiss-waist combo then too. We'll see! There's a slew of spring and summer events just over the horizon!
