I was off today, and had a bit of trouble getting myself in gear on the sewing (though I did go to the thrift store and picked up some nice glasses for Gettysburg...must have fine glasswear to be boozin' with! Hee). Didn't get started til mid-afternoon. Did manage to make and pipe both the top and bottom bodice edges, and even more importantly (and also necessarily to do the piping), fitted and sewed the shoulder seam. Back closing bodices are super annoying to fit an off-the-shoulder seam on oneself!

Also got the tails cut and mostly put together - though I put them down in disgust about half an hour ago when I turned one, and realized I'd forgotten to ease the lace at the bottom corners, so there's not enough lace there for the thing to lay flat. Derp. Could rip it all apart and do it again (with a new longer piece of lace I don't have?)...or could just snip out the corners.

And, picture of how the bodice and skirt currently look. Not, in fact, very impressively displayed, but hey, proof I'm not actually just napping. ;)


Tonight on the docket is a row of narrow lace on the skirt, and then I'm allowed to go to bed, since despite not doing as much as I could have today, I'm still on track with my revised schedule. Sew like the wind!
