Dressage is horses, right? You can train horses to do elegant things. To march in a totally unnatural, regal manner. Right? Not so the embroidery machine...or the embroiderer. I began embroidering directly on the dress today... along the hem edge. It is going well. there are 7 round patterns on each bias panel of the dress. I got 5 done today. #6? It tried to eat the dress . But I saved it. I also began drafting the petticoat pattern. Using a very short half slip as a guide, I drafted the top half of the petticoat. This part will be sewn in opaque nylon tricot. Later, like tomorrow, I will figure out how long the ruffle needs to be. It will be embroidered and edged with lace.
