Completely unrelated to anything costuming

Over the past week I've been prepping to leave for school and it wasn't until right now that it hit me - I'm going to college. I'm living in a dorm with 72 complete strangers. I'm completely and utterly terrified. I think every time someone has to make a big transition, s/he has difficulty until s/he completely understands and feels comfortable in the new surroundings. I know I'm just uber nervous (I mean who isn't slightly apprehensive?) and I hope that I'll feel better in a couple days.

On another note, my puppy is getting really big - Ella is 4 and a half months old! She weighs nearly 40 pounds and I can't pick her up any more without straining my back. She also lost two teeth! She's getting to be so big!

I guess it's worth noting that the student run musical group at my college will be performing Urinetown as the fall musical. I'm hoping to help with costumes or even audition (I know the show really well and I hope to be up for one of the "rebel" roles) if I feel up to it.

Oh and this is my 41st blog post - hooray!

Women and Undergarments

One of the blogs I follow just posted an interesting article about women's fashion through history and it was very interesting. Just figured I'd share it since I haven't posted in a while.

Also on the docket is a corded petticoat that will probably come to college with me (considering I haven't finished yet). Luckily it has 9 cords so I'm not that far behind.

Another Regency dress

I've been planning another regency dress for a while now and I hope to finish it before going to school. However, I'm torn between fabrics:

A pretty purple vine pattern with a cream background or...
A red diagonal dot pattern? I like them both!
