Bodice is done!
It doesn't look very different from yesterday, but today things are actually sewn instead of just pinned! All the bodice needs are hooks and eyes up the back. The skirt still needs a hem and cording, but that's it. Almost done!
I'm also attempting to alter my BF's frock coat for next weekend. We purchased one off of ebay, but it's too long (both width and length) in the shoulders, so I'm trying to take it in an inch or so. Except I had no idea how many layers are in a man's suit jacket up there! I've taken one shoulder apart, and I've already taken it up, but I need to figure out how much to take in the top of the sleeve so that I can refit it. Not to mention figuring out how to put all the padding layers back in up there, and making sure I do the exact same thing to the other sleeve.
