Eleanora of Toledo Gown — part 6

It begins.  Be afraid, be very afraid.

Okay, here’s my sewing frenzy work plan:

Today:  Ordered what I hope will be a 20 yard piece  of a very nice black and silver-gray jacquard ribbon that has the feel of the original trim work on Eleanora’s gown.  Humorously enough it’s from a vendor on Etsy from my next of the woods [go figure.]

New Black & silver trim

Next stop is to order linen from Fabrics-store.com for the lining because the Thai silk is a bit lightweight to stand by itself.

On the sewing front, it’s underpinning day so it’s time for corset making, chemise and with any luck, I’ll find my farthingale pattern… well, actually any farthingale pattern will do, mine, the one I bought from Mantua Maker or heck, even the Simplicity one will do.
