Box-pleating is a method weirdly placed between pain and fun. To resume, I would point how fascinating it is to watch oneself sweat blood and water to press correct mathematical idiot box-pleats. Speaking of someone allergic to anything related to numbers, it's surrealist. I count : it needs 30 minutes to make two good box-pleats. A least, I making large ones.

This pleats are for the underskirt by the way : my insipration is this KCI dress. It's maybe not obvious (nothing is obvious with moire), but I think the underskirt has large box-pleats.

Foundation is cut and half sewn. The last seams are to be made with the silk taffetas parts. The apron of the skirt is half sewn. And the good news is that my taffetas is of middle quality. Having bought silk taffetas on sale, I was afraid to have real bad quality silk, but it could have been worse. It could also have been a lot better !! The problem being that the color is very clear, an almond green, and the defects are then more obvious. Anyway. It's silk. Shut up. Enjoy. You're not going to be able to have cheap silk for a long time now.


More randomn, I realise I have made plans too have a green dress for every period. I mean, I love green, it is not a secret, but will looking trough my books, I realise I have mentally mark absolutly all the green gowns with a "I'm going to make something similar". Nearly one dress, or costume, for each period. The only period for wich I just can't see dress in green is Regency. It just dont work for me. But pine forest green redingote like the one in the movie Monsieur N ? Mmmh yummy !

Paris planning

J'ai commence a tenter de planifier la fin de l'annee. Je serai sur Paris au moins du decembre au soir au janvier au matin, au moins. La question est : est-ce que tu es sur Paname entre Nawel et le 1er de l'an ? Sinon, je suis en vacances a partir du 17, donc je peux monter un peu avant... ? (je n'ai pas ton mail sous la main, vu que je suis chez mon cher et tendre, je te refile le mien : marthe.maupin(at)free.fr )

(pour les chiffes : foutu clavier qwerty d emon chéri où y a jamais le pavé numérique vérouillé ! et ça m'apprendra à pas relire) Je disais : du 23 au 2.

Je peux monter un peu avant par contre, autour du 21 ça devrait pas poser de pb.
... t'inquiète, j'en suis juste à la toile du corsage, et il faut reprendre *toutes* les coutures, y a rien qui va ! ^^
