I have been avoiding the fancy dresses of the 1870s and 1880s because they really are pretty far, time-wise from the era that Ardenwood portrays. But just for my information I have been researching them a bit.
And then I did it. It was actually that darn striped taffeta that did it....I am going to tackle a bustle dress!
First I have to get the right silhouette so I need a bustle petticoat. That is the new project.

| LOTS OF GATHERING INVOLVED! |
We haven't had rain since January so "red in the morning, sailors take warning" sounds great to me! In fact I slept in Lucy (the motorhome) last night so I would hear the raindrop on the roof..... I love it. No such luck, the rain hasn't gotten to us yet, just the sunrise. What a nice sewing day!
