....And the Day Finally Came!!

I went to bed in our hotel room at 10:30 after adding the final touches to my dress. After a night of fitful sleep, I got up and got ready for the play. The play started at 1:30 so there was plenty of time to take pictures at the park near the Oregon Shakespeare Festival campus.

I love that door^

The play was marvelous! The actors were superb, the costume were gorgeous, and it was well worth paying the high ticket price! I wish I could see it again!

As for the dress, there are several things I would like to change on it, I want to make the sleeves tighter and more puffy. I also need to fix the lining, it is not wide enough at the hem; I tried to jump over a puddle and ending up falling into it! Also I do not understand how the costumes in the play were made because I can detect no side seam on their skirts! The skirts in the play also were much fuller. Oh what I would give to talk to the costume designer!! :D
