Nice bit of sewing today

I got up early today so I could have a bit of time to work on my Lost Hope dress. Just a bit - I got the overdress fronts sewn together. I'd really like to get this dress done though...that way I can have something 1860s as The Other Project. I still want some accessories for when I do a shoot of it, but I don't want to take pictures of it in the dead of summer, so I'd be waiting a while anyway.
