Very cool dress preservation and reconstruction:

Oh, those beetle wings! I love the use of beetle wings in the trim of a dress. There was an 1840s dress on an auction site not to long ago that had beetle wing trim... oh! Does anyone know where to buy beetle wings these days? Are beetle wings harvested in a humane manner??

In other news, my regency bonnet is done, save for putting ribbon and ties on it, which I don't have yet. I'm working on picking out ribbon.

I've started an additional project to, but as it's not on my list, I'm going to keep in a secret for now. :-)
