I worked on the beading of the left front skirt panel yesterday. I didn't get as much done as I would have like to have completed, but I should be able to make considerable headway this afternoon.
I am pleased with how the sleeves for the smock turned out. I need to get the neckline and body fitted tomorrow and the sleeves attached. I did the smock in cotton, yes, yes, I know it should be linen, it breathes better, etc., etc., I know. But I did it in cotton because I found this really amazing cotton black on white print, that so amazingly looks like blackwork. At least from the 10 ft distance it does. And it does look incredible.
The piping has been mostly applied to the bodice. I thought I had 3 packages of the stuff and instead I only had two so I have to go back to the store to get more this morning. Once I have the armscye's complete, then the work on the top half of the dress (which is most of it) will be closing in on the finish line.
