.. ok, one week and two days from now on
But I'm really looking forward to the Gala and I'm very very excited.

Well, but I hve to say that I made another new gown for the Gala .. I just could not resist *blushes* at least after I've heard who will be there as well.
I'm sure you want to know what kind of gown it is ... remember my last journal entry? And remember my wishlist? .. and remember ~LumiaVita 's comment that she's sure that I'll start with one of the gowns on my wishlist within a few days?

She was completely right I fear.

An here's the original painting that I tried to recreate: [link]

I don't have pictures so far with me inside the gown, I hope I will have some after the Gala (and if I'm lucky, from Viona herself, if not my friends surely will take some ) but I have some pics from the single parts for you in the meantime:

Skirt: [link]

OK, what else ... yes, still unfinished stuff (more than ever *sigh*):

- my black velvet uniform frock coat
- my regency frock coat
- dark green "cut" velvet dress (a.k.a. the Absinth Gown)
- italian renaissance inspired gown (nearly finished)
- a black and violet skirt to go over my hoop skirt
- a white satin corset with black applied motifs


Plans: many, really many .. almost the same than on my last journal entry, luckily I have canes for a french farthingale now.

Commissions:

- a victorian day dress bodice
- a men's suit
- an elizabethan gown
- a rococo riding habit
- a few corsets ...

OK, I have no idea what to write else ... perhaps I'll just add something the next days
