wataya | New Year To-do Lsit

It's the time of the year where you look back and say : OMYF**CKINGGOD !! I haven't follow last-year-to-do-list at al. Or so few. I'm not even going to link to it, because I'm ashamed.

Anyway, I'm still auto-inflicting a list for 2007, even if I know that if I manage to make two dresses out of it, it wil be the end of the world, because LISTS ARE FUNNY. Period. Anyway (bis)... :

- the 1848 revolution flounced dress to finish, and all the under- and uppergarnments going with it : the red quilted corset, the corded petticoat, the chemise, and the hat.

- >the 2007 Vaux le Vicomte 18th project will be a 1791 robe à l'anglaise along this lines (beware, many pictures), with a phrygian cap. Yeah for French Revolution. More on it later.

- Charlotte Brontë 1854 dress out of brown silk satin.

- the 1923 hand-beaded flapper dress. It was my 2006 year-long project, but I spent all 2006 trying to get a book about the Luneville Embroidery (tambour embroidery with beads), but Amazon and likes keep telling me all year long that they couldn't find it anywhere. I finally find a seller whose having it just two days ago, and I should find it when I get at home. Pfew ! Now I need to create a design for the beaded embroidery...

- A Natural Form dress.

- A frilly 1870 dress

I have other projects, but that would be silly to include them :)
