saffronhareMost excellent progress on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
princessboredom's dress last night. She found the most marvelous matte satiny-chocolatey fabric for the overskirt. It really ties everything together so beautifully -- much better than our original idea did, so three cheers for her eye for color there.
With the helpful supervision of Auntiebreathofgold, we basted together and fitted the bodice pieces. (All this, while Liam supervised the other two princesses bathing...the scoundrel. We got pictures!) Wow, is that Italian Ren style ever lovely on her. The expanse of shoulders and clavicle is beautiful and I think she feels beautiful wearing it. Since the sewing machine was cooperating, I was able to do the actual machine stitching on the bodice last night (seems the machine prefers silk thread) and get the sleeves all but attached.
Tonight, I gain two hours of work time all on my own becauseagrnmn is managing the transport of girls: eldest to Fight Night, Princess !Kaboom to gymnastics (where she's nearly got a back handspring now), and youngest with him to Costco for some groceries. Sure, meals will be in the living room and things will be a mess until after Sunday, but hey. I need the time, the concentration, and the whole damn dining room. That's the price of glamour. :)
With luck, I'll be back on track by the end of tonight such that Saturday's gaming will only need to accomodate some hand-finishing and grommet-setting. (Virgin sacrifices are under consideration.) I am so very happy.

Perhaps I am confused...

Is it not appropriate to use Sweet Honey Catalina dressing during the sacrifice?
So many questions...

No, I don't think I'll actually bring myself to look at the site...even when I get home.
Save your eyes!
