Fichu or no for Costume Con?

[madamemodiste]

So I've been driving myself insane this evening (instead of doing my British lit homework) trying to figure out how to make the right kind of fichu for my polonaise. Is anyone else wearing a fichu? If so, do I just make a triangle if it's going to get tucked into the neckline?

I added additional yardage to my overskirt so it'll be nice and poufy, and then got too intimidated to start the pleating. I'm a little confused about how to handle the pointed part in the center back of the bodice. I'm hoping that when I get to it, it'll make sense. If anyone has advice for a visual learner, feel free to share :D

By the way, am I supposed to get anything in the mail from the Costume Con people once they are paid?

OK, ok...off to read tomorrow's assignment

I finally got an email from them about my badge name - but nothing in the mail. No idea!

It was about Dec. when CC27 sent out the Future Fashion Folio, & I think they did one progress report mailing, but that's it. If you registered recently, they wouldn't send anything bec. it's too close to the event.

I think the fichu is personal preference (or for modesty if it's cut very low). A triangle with a very slight concave curve on the side that goes against your neck works best for me. If the ends are very long you can wrap them around to the back and tie it, otherwise put it on before your gown so the ends are neatly tucked in.
