New Garb

I am in the process of working on a new dress.  Today is Wednesday, snd it should be done in time for Sunday. I need to finish the bodice, attach the skirt (including pleating, IIRC, 80" of fabric into a 50" wsist  andvsewing on a metric craptonne of hooks and eyes to do it up. The decorating won't be done until later.  I also need to fix my hemd (chemise) because I sewed a sleeve on inside out   I hope to get "buttons" on the collar and the cuffs. I will make up something going through all the steps and include some photos. There are also a couple orher things I need to write about  ranging from historically adequate to "I needed to make it for War.
