On the home strait...

Almost done! Forty little brass rings sewn down within an inch of their lives (I tell you, the fabric will rip before these things come off), final front seam on the skirt done, lining hemmed, and only the wool left to hem.
Yay!

Now I just have to make a chemise that goes with the low-cut neckline (which, I have to confess, will be machined) and the french hood to go with it.
