mmcnealyI will, hopefully, get my dress diary updated with the whole scoop and pictures tomorrow, but this is the short version. I got the linings cut out, the piecings sewn to the skirt and then interlining basted to the dress fabric. Then I realized it was 2:30 and I hadn't eaten anything since a little bit of breakfast at 10:00. Which is probably why it took me 25 MINUTES to decide how to finish the raw edges of the interlining for goodness sake. Yah, my brain had slowed to glacial speed right about then.
All the seams are sewn together and pressed, and the pleats set with safety pins. I tried it on, and it looks really good. I cut it about 5 inches too long and didn't curve the edges of the skirts up enough, so right now I have a serious train effect going on in the back. It also is better at sweeping floors than my swifter is. Being navy blue it attracts lint from the ether and doesn't photograph at all well.
Oh well.
Right now its hanging up so that the hem can do any drooping that its going to do before I trim it shorter. Tomorrow I hope to get the hem trimmed, the lining sewn in, and dig a suitible sleeve pattern out of the depths of my basement. I might get more done, but the above is my goal.
