Update: Fall of the House of Usher Costume Fitting

The first of Madeleine's Regency-period dresses was ready for a final fitting, so yesterday actress Sara Cole stopped by and tried it on. It fit -- and she's stunning. Now it's on to the next dress.

By the way, our pug Marshall helped. Last weekend as I was working at the sewing machine, Marshall got under the sewing table, stepped on the foot pedal, and actually put a few stitches into the dress (fortunately in the right place) before I managed to move him.

A pug named Fortune once belonged to Josephine Bonaparte, and bit Napoleon. Maybe Marshall has a thing for white Empire/Regency dresses.
