4/6/15 My dad's costume is finished! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3/15 Here are some pictures of the ensemble almost done. Love the wig and the hat :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2/27/15 The theme for the homeschool ball this year was 18th century- So excited!! My mom, sister and I all have dresses, but my dad has nothing to wear. So we bought a pattern, (Butterick 3072) and here are some pictures of his costume in progress. A neck ruffle I whipped up The waistcoat (I haven't put the buttons on yet.) The false pocket on the waistcoat The shirt The neck placket on the shirt and the sleeve placket The breeches in progress cutting out the material for the breeches

Okay, Now it's truly done. Here are some updated pictures of my  completely finished, red robe a la polonaise. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Almost done! When it snowed this morning, I just had to take some pictures outside.  I made the dress using a pattern I got from Colonial Williamsburg. I modified the front to accommodate front lacing, which of corse drove me crazy trying to get it to fit right. Fortunately, I had enough fabric to make the bodice twice:)
