Authentic Victorian gown. You can't tell from the photo but it's the most beautiful purple!

It's getting there! Fitting tomorrow!

Cutting out the suit jacket

My suit wool arrived!

Glitter everywhere!

Autumn is here!

This is the front of the dress we were working on yesterday

Neil (fellow grad student) looked so cute I had to get a picture of him. Then Matt jumped in and made a creepy face in the background.

At one point there were ten of us sewing sequins onto this dress!
