The big shindig is already casting its shadow in my direction - I contacted the organizers of the Costume Extravaganza and found out that they are doing that particular event up larger than I'd thought. They want advance pictures of the costumes for a catalogue!

That means I have to start sewing ASAP, since the deadline is the end of June and I'll be away much of that month. Oh well, I guess early deadlines prevent over-procrastination! Problem is, I haven't found the kind of trimming I want to sew onto the dress...
