...So this was maybe not the smartest fabric choice for this design. (The swimmy visual effect of checks-on-checks is not quite as bad in real life, but I still could have thought this one through better.) I cut and partially assembled this around January or February when it was horribly out of season and just pulled it out of the UFO pile finished it up a few weeks ago. My love/hate with gingham continues; this has a gathered full circle skirt and it's nice and light. Bodice is lined in cotton to make it opaque and a bit more substantial.

Voidfang Vestments - Destiny

The tails were sewn directly to a partial underlining, which both supports the weight and keeps the torso as opaque as the tails. Which leaves this funny little abbreviated bemberg lining for the upper torso and sleeves.

In progress
Design portion of a Destiny robe I'm working on. (This is the project that finally made me start buying audiobooks. I do not know why I waited so long to get an Audible account.)

Agent Carter blouse
Agent Carter blouse, made of rayon challis with woven cotton trim. I came thisclose to being able to match the vintage buttons used in the actual blouse but the seller only had six buttons and I needed ten. Ah well...
