Thanks! I felt a *tiny* bit of motivation to actually drape the bodice and sleeves and decided to take advantage of that while it was still there! I need this dress soon, so I'm doing my best to resist the lure of that aqua silk! (Plus I can't make it til I get the linen for the bodiced petticoat...) Hopefully my motivation to make that dress will last while I'm actually *making* the thing! CADD...
