Awww, that's so nice! And I love to hear what you guys are thinking about and working on, too.

Just be careful that your fabric for the polonaise isn't too stiff/crisp or it won't do the drapery effect well in the back. I learned that lesson myself when I used a satin taffeta that was too crisp for the 1886 asymmetrical drapery add-on. Opps! But I bet the bengaline will be perfect.
