Ugh.
Why is this bodice so hard? I feel like it's taking forever. This morning, I cut into my silk taffeta. (I re-patterned the bodice pieces based on how I took most of them in last week.) I only had a little bit of weirdness between the inner layers and outer layers, mostly involving the neckline (which luckily will be covered in quite a bit of lace).
But now the bodice is giving me such a headache! I tried to use my cheat method so I wouldn't have to bind all the tabs (putting right sides together and then turning). Of course, I want thinking that that meant I would have to open up the tops of all the boning channels to be able to turn. And I'm getting weird giant wrinkles at the inside points of the tabs. So now I'm thinking maybe I really should just undo all that (I only turned half of it so far) and just binge it like I'm sure I should have done in the first place... Ugh.
I'll figure that part out in the morning, and then it's on to a bazillion eyelets. Which now that I'm realizing it, will be near to impossible to do on my machine with all that stupid boning! (not to mention I've already broken two needles)
The Snow White front is looking much more promising. The applique/embroidery is done, the grosgrain in the waistband is complete, and all that's left it's to sew on four tiny sets of snaps. I also bought a new needlenose, so I clamped the belt buckle down, and just need to make a few eyelets on the belt. And make the headband, and if I have time, do the velvet bolero. But there's not too much left!
I'll try to post pics soon.
