This is from February 2020. This is the last "big" project I've completed. The gold trim is hand-sewn on. The sleeves are salvages from a skirt purchased at a local second hand store several years ago. I found the separated pieces in a scraps drawer and realized they were the perfect length for the sleeves on this dress. Yay upcycling!
It currently fits a little more snugly than I intended. Part of that is cause I'm tubby, the other part is that I accidentally made it smaller than intended cause I tried a different kind of seam on it for the first time. Love the seam (french seam) but I lost a about an inch overall with that seam. Corsets are amazing tools for rectifying such things. Hopefully, by the time LARP can meet in person again, I won't need to cinch the corset quite so tight. (there was no sitting comfortably in that cause sitting made it dig into my sides rather hard.)
