Yep, me too! I think I held off on this fabric for so long since I have my original blue silk bustle dress, and it seemed like I should branch out into other colors. But...nah. I think I'll branch out into summer cotton instead!
I find the first time I do something, it takes a long time. Sussing out all the fitting issues and learning the tricks to getting the right silhouette and look can be time consuming. Luckily I now have some fitted, tried-and-true base patterns (for bustle era and 18th century, at least) and all the necessary undies so I can get right to the construction. :)
