After 2 months of deliberation I finally placed my order for the necklace parts to Rio Grande, and I even came under budget! The plan is to have a nice gold link chain necklace with a pearl drop. I dug through my beads and found several suitable specimins for the pearl drop that I had forgotton I had.

The schaube is coming along nicely, the sleeves are almost finished, just a a little more hand finishing and they will be done.

I am hoping to get started on the 12th night dress tomorrow, but we'll just have to see how far I get with the schaube tonight. I'm trying to decide weither or not to add the fur, I already have it, should I add it?

What sort of fur, and what color is the dress?

Its actually an overcoat type thing, the diary is here,

The outer color is a dark red and the fur is a beautiful dark brown beaver.

Thanks for the feedback, that's what I thought I should do, but I just want this project to be done!

By the way, I've looked over your site, and just realized that you're responsible for some of my favorite German stuff. (Sorry, didn't connect the username with the gowns. I'm going insane.) Gorgeous work. :)

Merry Christmas Myra!

Thanks for the feedback, I'll add the fur. I got mine off of eBay, great source for old fur coats that need a new use.
