Finished my Red Dress Day outfit!

And man, is it cool.  Red-and-gold corset with black trim, black silk brocade skirt overlaid by red silk brocade “petals” outlined in glittering gold ruffles.  It’s quite something.  Wish I could post pix, but it’s all top-secret until the actual day.  (Actually if you know where to look, you might be able to find a photo…Mike put it up in his Flickr stream.  And that’s all the hints I’m gonna give.  🙂 )

Next on the hit parade will be the white Victorian thingamabob –  hoping I can finish it by Friday evening.  I have to sew up a muslin to test the concept, then sew the thing itself – also need to finish the black tutu-underskirt that goes with the Red Dress Day outfit.

I need to finish by Friday night because I’m spending the weekend cleaning up, doing a ride or two, and then getting ready for CHOCOLATE!!
