February? Hello? Where'd you go?

Apparently it’s March already (of course, I’m only going by my youngest brother’s constant advertisement that it’s his birthday and his attempts to wheedle outrageously expensive gifts out of my parents)… It seems a little early in the year to be wondering where it’s going so fast! I’ve only just realised I didn’t post anything in February (I was either extremely busy… or extremely lazy… I’ll leave which up to your imagination).
I have been working away at my Regency wardrobe, I am now the proud owner of a chemise and corset… I will post some pictures as soon as I finish my drawers (and finish laughing at how ridiculous they look, of course they’re only half done, so I’m hoping they improve!)… They’re not strictly proper for the Regency period, but I refuse to go anywhere, especially in a dress, without some form of underwear, so they’ll have to do!
Next on the list is a petticoat and chemisette, then it’s onto the gown!
In other news, I am pursuing an amazing internship opportunity as part of my university course, fingers crossed for Powerhouse Museum and the Australian Dress Register! (.org, if you’re interested), and planning a quick trip down to Canberra to see the Renaissance exhibition before it ends in early April.
The Harry Potter exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum ends early April as well, if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend you go! It was amazing!
