Hi guys, this happened a lot faster than I thought it would. Your comments along the way have been most wonderful!
It took 10 muslins to get the top right, which I made up out of an old bedspread (I'll spare you photos) and then this version in poly crepe satin. I've got swatches of red and gold crepe satin on their way from Mood to pick from. I decided to choose colors that I would probably want to wear again. Oh, and I need to figure out what to do about a low back b.ra and get a manicure before I handle real silk (too many calluses from climbing means fabric pulls!) But that should be pretty easy.

This is what I look like if you look down at me (photo taker is much taller than I am.) |

From the front. |

Please forgive my hair. What a mess. Good thing we don't get to see ourselves from the back very often, eh? |

And from the side. I'm pretty happy with my decision to ditch the train. |
