Dress progress

Front bodice and back bodice attached at shoulders, also bodice lining pieces attached at shoulder.  Ruffles sewn and right one pinned.  This is how it ended last night.  The fabric looks black but it is a rich, dark navy wool/rayon/gaberdine from Fabric Mart purchased in 2012.  Lining from EOS.

Side view of pinned ruffle.
Lining attached to right bodice piece and under stitched.
Right and left bodice attached to center front piece.  Lining attached at front also.

I ended there for the afternoon.  Skirt pieces as well as lining have darts pinned and ready to sew.

  5. That pattern has just arrived here and I rushed out to buy it - it's such a pretty dress - I look forward to seeing yours finished - it's going to be very smart in the fabric you have chosen.
