Stop! This is the Pelisse!

.. almost....

Front now completed. Bodice now 2" bigger due to contrast bands. Not in itself a bad thing...
This does however now mean that the fastenings have to be re-thought.

Original plan was military-style silver buttons and hussar lacings, I thought this would end up looking way too fussy so the next thought was hook and loop fastenings.... but after all that, I'm thinking some nice fat frog fasteners might be the way forwards.
Hoping to get the belt, collar and cuffs done this weekend and then that's my wardrobe for Gloucester done!

Unless I decide to embroider myself a new white muslin dress.... but I wouldn't do anything so silly..... would I??
