Productive day, take 2!

I have the front, back, and one sleeve done!

Yaay!



Still to do:
-1 sleeve
-2 cuffs
-2 ruffle (for cuff??)
-neckline
-2 gores
-2 gussets

I kind of wish I had made it just a *smidge* longer, but I think it will be OK.

The finished yoke and shoulder pieces

Since I have a day or two before it goes home, I'm probably going to make a padded hanger for it - even though it needs to not be stored hanging up! (The reason it came to me in the first place was the cheap plastic hanger had chewed through the delicate lawn and more or less destroyed the shoulders)
