Finished Dress

It is Halloween night and here is a photo of the finished dress. I didn't have time to finish everything I wanted to but I hope you like it :D

Corset and Dress

The corset is almost finished, all that is left to do is attach the straps than I am done.

So I have started the mock-up/petticoat(don't like to waste fabric) and it is looking pretty good. I don't really have a pattern to follow for this and so I am using reference photos as a starting point.

As you can see there are quite a few great photos to choose from :)

Below is what I have going so far...

And here is my dress :D

This is mostly pinned together and there is only one sleeve so far... I am hoping this will be done by Thursday night so I can make the Spencer, bonnet, and shoes(and if I have time a reticule) on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday...

Here is to hoping this works out.
