Eugenie bodice mockup
Didn’t someone suggest that the shorties (like, ehem, Sarah and me) wear a little bit of a heel? If so, I have simple black pumps with louie heels that would work.
I’ll also keep trolling my thriftstore for white that I can dye to match my gown, but there’s enough black lace on mine that black shoes work, imo.
Otherwise, I have the main silk and lace, still looking for the fussy little lace trims on the bodice. I bought faux flowers to rip apart and wire for the bodice corsage and hat. I have some tulle for the hat.
Also, anyone know a good, not horribly expensive source for medium-width black silk ribbon? because I assume you’d all kill me if I used the stuff from Jo-Ann’s on this gown 🙂 Just keep in mind I’m broke. But my skirt has 6 rows of ribbon on the hem.
Oh, need a hat too. Thrift-hunting isn’t turning up anything big enough with a fine weave.
I have the bodice pattern that Kendra and Sarah helped with. I have a corset and a bridal hoop, plus a mostly finished over-hoop petticoat.
Whew. So much still to go. But I’m on it, srsly!
