Piping has been applied in all the places it’s supposed to be. Well, not the sleeves, since I needed to design them first. Speaking of which, I’m going to pat myself on the back for figuring out these sleeves entirely on my own, no patterns, no friends helping, nothin’. They’re not all that complicated, but they’re not all that plain either. And of course, I haven’t constructed the actual ones in the actual fabric yet. But I drew my own patterns after looking at stuff on books, then I made 3 mockups until I liked the look of stuff. Going from a drawing to fabric, booyah!

I still don’t drape, but hey, I made my own sleeves.
The to-do list for this costume is steadily shrinking. The real biggies will be the presentation and documentation, but for the first, it’s mostly Thomas recording stuff, and the later, I even have a very rough draft written already.
Oh damn. There’s Thomas’ costume and documentation. Frickity-frack. Well, we kinda know what he’s going to wear (Bridget has to bring over some stuff for him to try out), and I know what I’ll write for his documentation. Honestly, he’s just a prop for our presentation. But they’re being nit-picky this year and every single person on stage for the historical masquerade has to go through workmanship judging, needs documentation, etc.
