Progress

Or...

F*#@ you Project Runway.

I'm almost done with a mock up of the cocktail dress...actually the only thing not incorporated is the chain (around the neck, down the center back and finished around the waist...metal hardware closing the front instead of frogs to tie it all together)... and the waist sash...But I've photos of the dress nonetheless. Tomorrow I'm meeting with the person who commisssi0ned it to discuss said progress. It's only a mock up...the actual fabric will be more of a black blouse poplin than the black sheer and pink stretch under layer pictured here...much less formal looking...

I'm still waiting to hear back from the museum about the replica of the 1830's dress. Considering that they first asked me about it over three weeks ago...and they have yet to give me a day when I can actually work with the garment to make a pattern...I'm tempted to double the price. I will not sell myself short.

And tonight...another night at the brasserie...the wine bar. Always dangerous when someone else picks up the tab. Though listening to someone else's complaints is always easier with alcohol involved...second night in a row of listening to someone else's problems. Guess what? I can listen all you want...but ultimately...it's your problem.
