The view from where I sit looks rather gray

Another "spring" storm is coming through today and those can make one a bit gloomy. Therefore I am here to make another post on my lack of progress! I have been plucking away at this project, which as usual, is complicate. One white dress, two bodiced petticoats to go under it to make it more versatile; (see below for the other version) for all of those times I will need versatility when I'm dressing up in Regency costumes. (Yes I'm mocking myself a bit.)I keep trying to contrive situations that require costume attire. Yes my dear friends, beware.
It is hard to get a good picture that conveys the true color, especially on a crummy day, but I think this is close. It is more pronounced when it is on, because of the contrast of my pale skin. If you enlarge the pic you can at least get an idea of the cool sheen that the white silk has. That being said however, it seems actually a little... understated (boring). But honestly to make it more interesting would probably require hand work, which I love, but I really just want to get it done. Thanks to the goal setting influence of my DLF I am trying to finish one thing before I start the next. Which is laughable if you have looked at my blog at all, but none the less this is what I am striving for with this dress. Therefore I must finish it, in spite of the fact that I can't stand the sight of it right now.
