Pride and Prejudice Results...Sort of...

So, I was tested in endurance these last couple of weeks. I finished two regency dress-ish things in two weeks, which is pushing my ability (and my life balance).
After I finished the bodies of Georgiana and Miss Bingley's dresses, We added a pale yellow ribbon to the waist of Georgiana's and changed the sleeves to the puff sleeves with elastic to ruffle them. My first time successfully inserting sleeves too, by the way. I added a black ribbon to the waist of Miss Bingley's and a velvet type fabric to the neckline, which was an appropriately atrocious mustard.

Hopefully I can provide pictures as soon as the school posts them.
The performances we fantastic! Such a talented group of people. The play also had a sort of comedic touch to it, but that in no way took away from Austen's work.
Some wonky pre-debut shots:

Lizzie was a senior and Darcy a freshman




added some ruffles to everything...
 Adding the drawstring casing around the neck




And you all need some proper Pride and Prejudice

And some tasty treats:
