Two weekend ago my family and I took part in a performance with
"The Commonwealth Vintage Dancers". It was combination ragtime and regency, I had a regency dress but, no ragtime dress. Therefore speed sewing was in order, so with the patterning help of a friend and a bucket of polyester I managed to get the dress mostly finished in the week. Unfortunately, it was rainy and kind of gross out, and consequently I have some of the least picturesque pictures ever taken, I will take better ones...eventually, but for now you'll have to suffer through these:

| The Back |
 |
| The Side Front |

| The Front, with a crazy look in my eye... |

| The Side |
It is made of polyester in the principal parts but, the top of the under-bodice is silk organza and the top of the bodice is a lovely gold lace. I was concerned I wouldn't like due to, mostly unnatural fiber content but, I'm actually extremely pleased with how it turned out.
I am going to another event this weekend and am making a autumnal regency dress that I am very excited to post about...and I will get good pictures this time.
