I am going to be (once again) the best-dressed chica in 1886 (with apologies to Laura and her rockin' silk dress).

My new dress is done, and as soon as I get pictures, I can attach one to this blog. Monday night there were some tears when I realized I couldn't get it done in time to wear it for Saturday of the 4th weekend when I am scheduled to be Mrs. Louden, rich temperance lady. But then I thought, perhaps...

Wednesday night sewing saw a lot accomplished, but quite a bit left to be finished. And then the wonderful thing happened... Ericka, queen of clothing at the Prairie, told me I could come by her place on Thursday and Friday to get it finished. So last night we worked until after 11, and then tonight we worked for another 3 hours and it isn't completely finished -- it needs decorative buttons, and a couple things don't hang exactly right and need taken off and rehung, and we'd like to put boning in the bodice -- but I WILL be wearing it tomorrow! HURRAY! Happiness all around!

Having seen the dress, I can attest to it's prominence as the best dress on the Prairie, even in its unfinished state.

I think my computer is broken as the picture doesn't load for me (HINT, HINT).
