Post party plotting

After every event I'm usually inspired to make the next big thing, and this time is no different. Unfortunately, I have no occasion to wear my new dream dress. I want an Edwardian ball gown, I even have the inspiration and fabric for it. But I can't think of where I'd wear it in the next year. I don't do cons anymore. Could I sneak it into the new castle ball? Could I make an s- curve corset and gown in five weeks? This is a new era, so I'd need to start from scratch from the inside out.
