I haven’t done this much hand sewing in a *while*...and let me tell hands are still sore. 🤣 It’s finished & I am so thrilled with how this Edwardian evening gown turned out. The fit, the shape, the details, the textures, all of ’m just really really pleased with it. My inspiration for the design of the bodice was based on just looking at *a lot* of net & silk bodices and gowns that survive today and taking what I was seeing into consideration for what worked best for my body, the time I had available, and what materials I had at my disposal. As much as I can joke and tease about how Edwardian era dressmakers must have just thrown lace and trim at the wall and just used what stuck (cause some of these bodices are just pure decorative chaos),
