So the dress is coming along alright. I jotted down the design and handed it over to Garehk, and I watched him turn the raw silk into silkspun. Then he showed me how to basically form the dress. At times I winced because it got too fancy, or he made the bodice too small. But it's sort of nice. Very clumsy, ugly compared to others, but still nice. It has nice, flowing sleeves and a not-too-long skirt that reaches my ankles. It hasn't been dyed yet so it's still a rather dull silver. He's going to show me how to decorate soon. He hasn't quite finished the sleeves yet, and the skirt needs some touching-up. But the ball's soon so he's working at high-speed, and I watch as much as I can and try my hand at some things.

I'm tired now, though. Too much straining of the eyes...
