elizabeth_mnPlease forgive the deer-in-the-headlights expression.
CF bodice and skirt (and the little slit) are are finished; sleeve ends are finished also. The sleeves do not cup my elbow as much as I had hoped, but this sleeve is worlds better than my first few attempts. It ought to be, since I practically re-drafted the thing from scratch.
The neckline and hem are still unfinished, and there are no closures yet. There will also be trim on neckline and sleeves.
The waistline wrinkle is not bothering me so much with this soft drapey fabric. What does bother me is the unevenness of the slits on either side of the bodice point; I did not notice this until just now! Maybe it's just the way I am standing in the photo (hope hope hope - because I really don't want to pick it out and do it over.)
