I keep forgetting how bad I am being about taking/posting progress pictures for this project.  Here's an underskirt pic I snapped a few weeks ago (I know!).  The underskirt will be almost completely hidden, except the ruffle, but at least the photo shows the fabric.

I took this one just for reference when I was figuring out the ruffle height.



I made the belt yesterday.  It's made from the same fabric as the bonnet.  
 
 
I cut it on the bias, not because I thought it would drape better or because I wanted to make my life harder, but because after cutting the bonnet, the fabric I had left was a bias-edged triangle.  Cutting it straight would have meant too many odd seams.  The bow is 3 pieces sewn together and the belt closes with hooks and eyes.

Left to do:
collar
bodice facing
buttons/holes, hooks/eyes
attach bodice & overskirt
(maybe) sew the girl's hat, which is already cut out
