Polonaise is done and worn in public!
I decided to wear my gown to Yuri's Night. It's a festival celebrating Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, and the theme this year was "intergalactic chic" so I figured my gown would be perfect. I decided I was a Victorian time traveler! I got a lot of compliments on the gown and even met a few kindred sewing spirits. I definitely breathed a sigh of relief when it actually fit over my corset and undergarments.
