Dreams of ball gowns, gowns and more gowns...

Every Thursday night, at 7:00pm, I go English Country Dancing.

Now that might sound boring, but I assure you, it's one of the funnest things on the planet!

We do all kinds of dances from Irish jigs, to waltzes. 

Whenever I do one of the slower waltzes I wish I was wearing a long flowing gown. 

A Regency Gown.

Somehow, regency gowns are appropriate for almost any ball. (Not 7 brides for 7 brothers though... haha).

I want to sew one REALLY bad. 

I'm still deciding what colors and such. 

I'm thinking maybe a light, earthy green.

If I do that then the clear fabric over it would probably be like the fabric in the first picture. 

I also can't decide if I want long or short sleeves. I might have to do one of each!

Here you can see the top of the short sleeve gown. This is a darker green then what I was thinking, but it looks really good. Hmmmm...

Here's the top of the long sleeve gown. I like the style of both the long and the short. :)

The next ball is The Count of Monte Cristo. 

A regency gown would be perfect for that. 

Well, I shall bid you good night, and go back to my dreaming and planning. Hopefully this will pan out. =)
