It really wasn't that bad heat wise. And that in 90+ degree Colorado heat. You get used to it and the sweat helps cool the body. I had more issues with the weight of the sleeves. My arms were dead tired after the day. And I'm used to hauling PC's around at work by hand.
So not really that hot so to speak and my arms were not that sweaty when I took it off.

LOL I would think my seamstress would say she put a ton of herself into this dress, thus yeilding many yards of fabric. LOL
What a lovely dress. I particularly love those big furry cuffs! ;D ;D Gorgeous!

Anyone who sews garb for any era knows THAT story! I always say everything is made with blood, sweat, tears - and cat fluff! ;D
Absolutely stunning! You look gorgeous, and my most sincere compliments to the seamstress. It all came together so beautifully, and that colour really suits you well.
