Since catlins2busy helped me hem the bottom, I've a dress in a wearable state. I've yet to do the tippets and fitchets, but I'm waiting until I have the fur to do that properly. Am debating whether to reinforce the buttonhole side of the front opening with tablet weaving--I did it in the underdress, and I like the look, but I haven't any string in an appropriate colour for the green layer. Might wear it as-is, or with just faced fitchets, at Pennsic.
