So maybe the hem wouldn't pass close inspection, but it looks perfectly fine from about 2 feet away and I'm done with this. Sewing the hem yesterday evening when I was all tired out with a headache might not have been my most brilliant idea, but now it's out of the way and I can think about other things. If I ever want to wear the dress again I can always cut off the little hem and put in a bigger and better hem. (Probably using bias tape as per
starlightmasque's suggestion.)
I hope to have a working pattern for my Tyrell bodice done this week so I can start construction next week. I hope that this one goes fairly quickly. The project shortlist for the next two months includes: Tyrell bodice, finishing Regency stays, a striped Regency pelisse (which may get pushed back a bit, depending on how long the stays take me), the rest of the Tyrell costume (skirt and shoulder pieces), and my boyfriend's Halloween costume.
The longlist somehow keeps getting longer... Some thoughts that I am throwing around include natural form undies (corset, chemise, and petticoats), cotton print bustle dress, striped natural form polonaise, 1882 ballgown, Edwardian petticoat, 1908 dress, 1790s riding habit (shirt, waistcoat, skirt, and jacket). I am well aware that I will not get to all of these things, but I do have fabric that could make lots of them. I just also happen to need more fabric as well as notions to complete them.
