Leaving the extra fabric around a cut out pattern piece and NOT marking where the pattern ends, proved to be a mistake. I'm typing it out in hopes of not glossing it over in an 'oh well'. Now I have two beautiful seams, 3 lovely pieces and the center bodice is an inch too low. Exactly WHY I altered the corset pattern- to make the kirtle high enough. Not only that but the bottoms don't match.
MAKE ALL MARKS ON ALL PATTERN PIECES AND STAY PRESENT.! no daydreaming. No scolding. Eat lunch, tear it out, start over. PERIOD. it isn't bad, it's just what is.
FACING, I am not going into how that transpired. Whew! Suffice to say that the facing is in, it goes about midrif length. It's made of one layer each-muslin, gold taffeta, white satin.
GROMMETS- This was my first time grommeting a real dress. There were two that I forgot to put the top piece on and hammered it down with it. DUH! I had a hell of a time pounding a hole in the fabric, I mostly cut it open one layer at at time with my little scissors.
