I made a cap to go with my Anglaise gown - this is worn under the brain hat. It looks ridiculously big on me, but apparently that was the style. I have since added a pale blue ribbon trim to it.
I also decided to do a second petticoat for the gown since the quilted one is very heavy, and chose an indigo blue linen. I have also gotten the trim attached since I last took photos. It's amazing how different the same gown looks with a different petticoat!
So everything is now finished, and I need to take photos. I bought a wig to wear that I need to style before pictures of the final ensemble, and am waiting on a necklace that I ordered as well. I am thinking of a Colonial Faire that is going on the next few weekends, but it's a longish drive so I'm still pondering.
