halloween dress

Well, like many others right now, I've got a cold.  This is throwing a wrench into my Halloween plans because I feel too yucky for intense sewing sessions and a little too woozy to lace into my corset for fittings.

I've got the skirt assembled; all it lacks is a hem.  I made the bodice pattern yesterday.  I really wanted to get the bodice together by this wednesday, but I don't want to make myself sicker by working too hard.  So we'll see.


 

Skirt is hemmed

Dragged myself off the couch long enough to hem the skirt.

 

Bias facing and machine blind hem stitch.  The facing got a little wonky, but oh well.  And the hem is a little uneven in the side back area where the bustle ends, but that usually happens on my bustle skirts.

If I get around to it, I might add a couple sets of interior ties to the petticoat to keep the fullness to the back.
