Complete Dossier

Before I start into posts specific to individual pieces of this project, I thought it might be fun for any of you who are keeping track of my progress to know exactly what I've gone on the table. So here it is, my rococo dressing list:

His

• Pants (knee breeches)
• Waistcoat
• Jacket (justaucorps, and God do I love that word for it)
• Shirt
• Stock

Mine

• Chemise
• Stays (corset, but the term for the period is stays)
• Pocket hoops (AKA considérations)
• Petticoat (and possibly also and under-petticoat, depending on how it drapes over the hoops)
• Dress, meaning bodice and overskirt
• Fichu
• Sash

We will be acquiring from outside sources the following items:

• His tricorner
• My awesome, totally-gonna-win-the-Derby-Day-competition hat
• His wig
• Shoes for both of us
• Stockings for both of us

We already know where we're commissioning my hat from, but the others are still at large. (So if any of you happen to know where we can get high quality historical reproductions, please chime in, lol.)

So there it is. I currently have seven months to finish everything. Let's hope I don't need to start wishing he proposed even sooner!
