Victorian (to 1901)
And More At The Atelier…
The portrait doesn’t show her hem, so I made something up…today is bodice construction day! Five days to finish everything so I’m not sewing on the plane.
Um, like I usually do. Yes, it’s off to London! 😄

John Everett Millais, Portrait of Louise Jopling, 1879; National Portrait Gallery

Meanwhile At The Atelier…

Two Corsets – Two Days
Two corsets in two days, now for the finishing work and flossing!
A little tired. 😎
At The Atelier
A ballgown isn’t finished until it’s been Corgi-kissed. Fiona does her best to help.
