Not as productive in sewing today - I did a lot of bouncing around from project to project, which I'll blame on running completely out of muslin. So I couldn't finish the 19-teens petticoat I started (got it cut out, though!) or start anything related to the brown & bronze 1876 dress (which I'm going to call the Autumn Dress).

I tried it on so I could take meaurements for the petticoat (my waist's an inch bigger but hips are an inch smaller, whaddya know), and I realized that if I put a hook & eye on, it would indeed make the line smoother, but I'd also have serious problems sitting down!
