I got the overskirt mostly done today - back's pleated to the front and waistband's put on! Still plenty of things to finish on it (hem, sew down th back drapery, remember to buy the elastic I want to hold it back with tomorrow night at work, since I forgot it today) but I can tell I like how it's looking. There's more volume in the rear than it really looked like in the illustration, which pushes the dress to 1882-ish rather than my original intent of 1880. I mean, I think I can survive that... xD
Bought a bunch of boxes from work today from the Campus Life collection or whatever the dorm-room-themed crap is called this year - on sale and the perfect size to fit my Big 3 patterns, since they've long since expanded out of their designated shelf space and pretty much exploded everywhere. And they (the boxes) even have an elastic over the top to keep the lid on! Very nice.
