PHEW!

Spent the last couple days making and attaching FORTY-FIVE fabric-covered buttons, and now the whole thing is done. It's not like they are hard to do, but I was still floored at the sheer quantity of them.

Here's a little peek at the back pleats.



Besides this, I am way behind on projects for this weekend's event. It is going to be another late night for me.

That's a lot of buttons, man! But knowing you, I bet the finished product is beautifully tailored. :)
