Camicia- i made this months ago. Now I'm looking at it again and it needs to have the neck opening made smaller. I have to take off the 'waist band' style edge and tighten up the cartridge pleating. The back of the linen camicia has a muslin panel. I ran out of linen.
Bodice- 5 more eyelets to go. I see the improvement in the last row compared to the first and it's very relaxing. I like hand work.
Sleeves-the straps are not adjusted yet. I have not put any attachment points on either sleeve or strap. The jewels are not hand-sewn on the pinch points of each sleeve. I have yet to make a commitment about the design and logistics.
Hem- This is done. I have not tried the dress on yet to see if it is right. I did it according to the pins Sarah D. put in some weeks ago. We felt confident the dress was hanging on me correctly with proper underarm room and symmetry.
Adornments and Shoes- I have a few things in mind and a pile of jewels on the 'sewing table' (a.k.a. the guest bed). No work can be done until the other things are finished. And I have to re-attach the front trim that I removed to REBUILD the bodice from the top.
