The dress is done!

I decided not to add green velvet trim on top of the pink silk because it's already very busy and I didn't want to over do it. The sleeves came out beautifully. Now, just to try it on and make sure it fits!

EDIT:

I tried it on and it fits but I need to redo the lacing rings on the inside and add tabs to the stomacher. It shouldn't take long -I can do most of that on the Metro- but it is annoying.

Me minus the stomacher because pinning through two layers of silk, velvet, and a piece of canvas just doesn't work:

And those are the ugly stays. :-) Yeap, they are laced funny. Part of the problem of lacing yourself at 11 at night....

:-) Thank you! I need to make some minor changes to it but the dress works overall.
