I lost a lot of time this week because of an unplanned trip to the ER, but I still hope to have this costume finished in time to wear it to the costume ball I'm going to for New Years'.
Lets start with the skirt. I hemmed all of those scallops, then ironed on two layers of gold trim. I still need to put a waistband on and tack down the underlayer. On the bodice I assembled the sleeves and attached them. The bodice got all of its own gold trim ironed on, and I put a separating zipper into the center back. The right hand side sleeve got an engageante hemmed and attached, the left one is hemmed but not yet sewn on. I also hemmed the bodice ruffle and tacked it halfway on.
(Still have horrid hoop show-through, I need to make a petticoat)
I took the underskirt apart to install the swagging. Here is one piece all cut, gathered, and pinned ready to be sewn down. I may re-do the center bit because I don't like how it's not centered all the way up.
