The design that inspired me to start my blog.

I was looking through one of my books and came across this dress from Godey's Magazine from 1867.  I realized that I had a black and white patterned cotton fabric just begging to be made into a day dress.  

Not that you can tell, but the pattern on the fabric is of a Baroque style.  I kept the trim to just the simple soutache trim running vertically up the bodice following the style of the inspiration picture.  The bodice is of the standard style covered buttons with coat sleeves popular of the period.  The sleeves are trimmed with four rows of soutach to mimic the trim on the bodice.  I added the black grosgrain ribbon belt for a finished look. 


The skirt has four gored panels and the back is two widths that are cartridge pleated to a waist band ending with a train in the back.  The skirt is trimmed with four rows of soutache trim as with the bodice.  Underneath is a small eliptical hoop indicating that skirts were moving toward the back prior to the bustle becoming the new style.

  2. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
