Cherry Blossom Dress: The Hat

May 25, 2022May 22, 2022 misstemby1 Comment

Usually, accessories are the things we leave until the end of creating our dresses, an afterthought on occasion that we scrabble to get made on the edge of our project deadline.

Oops, I Did It Again Part I

Third times a charm for the Dark Sailor Overskirt - the first two versions I tried just didn't work (the first went weird and looked oversized and baggy - the pattern and fabric did not agree, the second had striped pleats which looked weird against a smoother overskirt design.

Speaking of chatelaines... the second one I bought arrived today! It's bronze, and from @razzberriesstudio - it also arrived with surprise treats! (Can anyone can tell me what the stick is? Curious Kiwi minds want to know)
My 'yay, promotion' present arrived this week (thr morning of my first day in my new role, actually - perfect timing!)
My Blue Check overskirt is finished - I had considered adding pleats to the hem, but it just looked too...busy, or chaotic? I think I prefer it plain, as there is enough going on already with the fabric pattern.
