Candy stripe dress bodice

[mandie_rw]

I did all the little bits of bodice finishings today that needed to be done, apart from the buttons and buttonholes.

My box o'ribbon fun got here today, woop woop! It's all synthetic, as expected, but mostly decent synthetics. The green ribbon matches nicely, and I think isn't too offensively shiny. There's also some heavy white picot-edged ribbon, a spool of black ribbon so ancient it's turned a rather nice shade of aubergine, an enormous spool of nylon-y white floral ribbon, a spool of pinky-purple cheap-ish ribbon, and three spools of double-faced red-orange velvet. The velvet was the best deal, I think! All in all, not a bad haul, as I think I can use the majority of it for costuming (and as for the rest of it, everybody's going to get presents tied with pinky-purple or white bows for the next fifteen years).

So I guess that means I have no excuse to not continue working on this til I finish it? *shifty eyes*

Well, really, the only thing that's stopping me is that every single other thing I want to work on needs a mockup. Ew, mockups.
