I just hemmed a dress.
Not just any dress: a green velvet medieval dress with gold trim.
Not just any medieval dress: one my grandmother made for my mother about thirty years ago, which I have loved since about middle school (in my "Romeo and Juliet" phase), but which until now needed a hem.
It looks like something Juliet would wear—or an Arthurian noblewoman—or Maid Marian—or someone similarly legendary, misty as to period, and charming. :-D
This is possibly the coolest dress ever.

Liberty Ball Quality? If so...shall we see it?
~ Lady Ancilla
Domina! You DID it! Fer illum bellum ad ludum, te supplico! I want to see it. :)
Now we shall HAVE to have that second gazebo party...
- Christy
Hmm! I suppose I could wear it to Liberty Ball (I hadn't thought of that; I've another I was planning to wear), but it's precisely the sort that ought to be worn to Gazebo parties. We must, must, must have a few. And of different sorts.
We need a Return of the High Queen Party.
We need a tea on the lawn.
Didn't I hear something about an Alice party?
