In other news, I've been thinking about where I want to go with this bustle project. I'm still in the midst of making the underpinnings (though I had to take a break for most of this week, due to the sewing machine misshap). However, now I'm brainstorming up what I want to do for the dress. As I've already mentioned, I purchased an outfit from Lauren.

I really love this dress as it is, but I figured I should also try to put my own stamp on it. So now I've been looking at some fashion plates for a similar outfit.
The two dresses on the outside have a similarly loud print to them.

I particularly like this one, with it's vest front.

Looking at these, I'm thinking that I might want to put in a faux vest front, and trim the skirt with some contrasting fabric. I could totally revamp the skirt to go with an overskirt, but that might be a bit much. Does anyone else have any other suggestions?
