A baby step?

A couple weeks ago I got the Watteau bustle polonaise all drafted and ready to go. I just cut out the pattern, and hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to lay the fabric out in the living room and get it pinned and cut out. I should have juuuuuuuust enough of the printed cotton to wiggle it out. But I drafted it so that the back would be as long as possible, so if my fabric shrunk more than I expected in the wash, I can just shorten that up as much as needed. If the center back ends up less than 68", well, it's not the end of the world. XD

In other news, I picked up the 'Fashioning Fashion' book yesterday at Barnes and Noble. And thanks to a coupon and mom's membership, it came out to $35 instead of $55. I like saving lots of money on pretty books~ :3 I wish I could see the exhibit in person, but sadly that's not possible.

Hmm... I think that's all I need to post on for now. Maybe tomorrow, if I get everything cut out and pieced, I'll have pictures to share. :3
