I promised pics and I actually deliver!

Pics! I got stuck at work yesterday, which sucked, but at least, in among the madness, I managed to get some of my backlog of photos uploaded. I'm missing the oldest ones, ironically, but the most recent were coincidentally still on the memory card I brought with pictures of the try-on of the wedding outfit, so I banged 'em up onto Flickr. I missed a few but it's better than nothing.
So, starting off:

The 18th-c outfit. I am holding the assembled petticoat, which does not yet have a hem or waistband, into place to show the color, which is why there's a bit that kind of just trails off.

From the back, in just petticoat. Since then I have trimmed it to approximately even and am probably going to machine-blind-hem it, if I can figure out how. (Of course I can't find my sewing machine owner's manual.) In the old days of course I'd hand-hem but as of now there's no way any of this project is getting hand-hemmed. Nothing for Pennsic is either.

So there's that-- I'm not all talk, now I'm photos too!
I also have the set up from my cousin's wedding.

My dad warming up the bagpipes. Yes, that's really my dad, and yes, that's the back of a bus, on the Long Island Expressway, running late.
I also love this shot of my oldest and youngest sisters (the married ones), waving candles during the first dance.


And a set from the wedding shower-- here's the whole reason I'm going through all this sewing! She really is awesome, despite my bitching.

You look absolutely adorable in that. It is coming along really well. The cut is incredibly flattering on you--gorgeous waistline.

It looks good! Oddly, the blue and yellow reminds me of that blue and yellow pottery.

That's lovely! I really like the bold contrast, and the shape at the back is fantastic. (Possibly calling out for a slight bum-roll, just to display all the folds. Or would that be going a little too far?)

I made a bumroll and don't like it, so I'm probably not going to get a chance to try again.

I really like that yellow! Great contrast!
