Nice colours, yes? Dupion silk from Cheap Fabrics, the green for the bodice, the rose is for the bloomers.
The bloomers ought to be pretty easy to make, but I do worry a bit over the bodice. I must make a pattern myself; there is no getting around it. I strongly suspect that I would need to alter a bought pattern so much that it will probably be easier to make it from scratch anyway. I hope I can get it to fit properly, though.

I also need to get a small parasol. Can’t be a proper ballerina without a parasol, can I?
Speaking of line dancers, if you want to know a little about a real Victorian ballerina, read the tragic story about Elvira Madigan and her lover Count Sparre at Rags of Time.

I'm just finishing a similar project. It's been so much fun to work on so I hope that you have an equally fun time. I love the two colours you chose.
Ohh it sounds like it'll be wonderful! I love the idea the victorian circus outfits are so amazing to look at.

Kul att du kan komma de här gången - utan lunginflammation... :) Själv skulle jag egentligen ha jobbat den lördagen, men eftersom jag ofta missar så mycket tack vare att jag jobbar lördagar, bestämde jag mej helt enkelt för att ta ledigt! :) Ska bli kul att se din kreation! Syns på kalaset! :D
Elizabeth Snider: Oh, do you have any pictures? I would love to see it!
Emma Litton: I hope it will be- I'm currently rather struggling with the bodice.
Miss Meadows: Ja, det kommer att kännas väldigt konstigt att festa och vara frisk... Helt rätt beslut att ta ledigt tycker jag!
