Ready for trimming

It took me an embarrassingly long time to make this.

  

I plan to trim with ruched self-fabric, blonde lace and matching blonde petersham.  Surely I can figure out some way to whip up some petersham flowers?  I also plan to make the ties out of self-fabric, not so much because I am cheap as because I couldn't find a coordinating ribbon and I didn't want to get too many colors into the mix.

The shape is not perfect, but this is definitely the best job I have ever done on one of these buckram-and-wire affairs.
