Finished sleeves
I finished up the sleeves this weekend, so they are now entirely done and sewn into the bodice. The organza really does make beautiful puffed sleeves. I'm thinking about using my leftover organza to add a gather rim along the top edge of the bodice. I'm just not certain I have enough: I would love a very gathered, almost pleated, look.
The last steps on the bodice will be the bertha, and then finally adding a privacy panel in the back (it will give a bit more fudge room on the size when I'm lacing it up. After that, the bodice is 100% done.
It does!!! I'll try and take a closeup picture of the trim for you. :) Once the bertha is done, I'll sew another bit of trim along the neckline to match the sleeves.
