Battle of the Flounces, Day 2: I Win.

Well, okay, you can't see the other one, but take my word for it, it does exist.
And now the pet en l'air is really really done, and is now living in a box with all the rest of my costumes...and my room looks less cluttered already. Got to work on that... ;)
I also finished messing around with the sleeves on the polonaise. They still piss me off, but I'm not redoing them. Because I donwanna. So nyah. As a matter of fact, the stripes are running the completely wrong way in the pieced bits in the sleeves - I sewed them in and then noticed, and didn't have the heart to redo them! And the piecing's at the bottom of the armscye anyway, so when it's on me, I don't think it'll be visible. (Plus - I have had more than enough of these particular sleeves.)
I also sewed the hooks on the CF of the bodice, sewed one thread bar, and, after realizing I'd sewn said thread bar to the opposite side of the bodice as well, decided I'd had enough of that.
Moved on to things that are More Funtm. I dug out my mock up of the L.H. Foy corset (literally dug out, too; it was buried under lots of other Sewing Things in bags, all under a layer of dust that got up my nose and made me sneeze), and was pleased to discover it very nearly fit. Only took about half an hour to make it fit - as well as I can tell without making a boned and laced mock-up, anyway. I'm far too lazy for those.
