In looking for something for me that will also fit Patty as an outfit for the holiday ball, I came across this page of things:

The $99 taffeta gown with the barely there sleeves (in green) with the belted sash in same and a nice hoop seems good and likely for a range of events and steampunkery for us both.

But can you guess what thing I totally don't need on that page I totally fucking want?

ETA: comments now totally hilarious

Keep in mind the chances are pretty high that Patty will need to take in the darts on the bodice. Also, you may want to put an extra short ruffled petticoat just at the top half of the hoop since their hoops seem to be incorrectly A-line in silhouette rather than dome-like. That said, for the money it's a decent deal. Green will look great on both of you.

And yeah, I thought fur muff too, but that could just be me projecting what I want.

Basically, I figure we'll stuff it for Patty and pin in the waist for me (hence that cool sash thing). And yeah, I'm not going to get _their_ hoop I think for just those reasons.

I might be able to get you a hoop to borrow. When is the holiday ball?

Dec. 4
I have to see if this place can even get us the dress in time.

On a Thursday night?
I'll see what the plausibility of the hoop borrowing is tomorrow.

OH the 6th then. No brain.
