In which we have another fitting

This dress is starting to look really good.  I'm not sure about the ribbon choice on the sleeve - it's really too narrow, but I couldn't find an appropriate one in the correct width.  I will go and look again today.

The drawstring at the neck will be white, of course - just ran out.  And I have to decide whether to put a drawstring at the waist as well, or allow the loose back which I believe is more historically accurate (but not 100% sure of that).

I like the fit.  And I love the colour, although I share Miss Terwillegar's dismay that the beautiful jewel tone of the underdress is not visible.  Oh those Regency gals!!!  Perhaps we will add a bright sash or a ribbon at the high waist.

Until next time, think about the hems - should one of them be piped?  Do we want body or draping? Should there be enough difference between the two that is it noticeable?
