Miss Fisher Con or Bust - Fitting my Art Deco Inspired Evening Gown

My French Couture Jacket - It's Done!!!!!

Well, it's done and I have to say, I'm very pleased/relieved. This jacket was an enormous amount of work and so easy to become distracted away from because of it.

My hands are a little broken, but they can rest for a little while while I do some decision making about future projects....
