Almost making it out of Polonaiseville alive!<\/p>\n

Technically, the stripey polonaise itself is done — I only have to finish the petticoat. Want (but do not absolutely *need*) to add a ruffle at the hem. I cut it out, sewed it together, hemmed one edge, and wave-roller-cut the other, so it’s completely prepped. Have to gather it, and attach it, but then I’ll need to hand-sew trim over the gathering stitch, and that’s slow going.<\/p>\n

Took all day today to sew the trim around all the edges of the polonaise skirt, but I’m done-ity done done! And while this is not all that historically accurate, it’s goth as f*ck, and that makes me very happy. I’m a pretty pretty gothic princess!<\/p>\n

Too bad I can’t photograph this dress better — neither flash nor no-flash seem to really work, plus the different materials give weird shines. Whatevs! It looks killer in person, trust me.<\/p>\n
