Another Update (things are coming along pretty well)

This weekend I was able to get more done on my dress.  The sleeves are done with the exception they don't have all of the decoration I wanted yet (& aren't sewn on the dress).  But otherwise they are done.  The cuffs were a bit of a pain & the ruffles don't look as nice as I'd like them too, but they do look nice overall.  I have the neck ruffle cut & gathered.  It's ready to be sewn on when I get the blouse ready.  I made the collar last night.  I'm pretty happy with the results.  Again the ruffles aren't perfect.  AGH!  I WANT PERFECTION! ; )  Anyway, tonight I am going to start the blouse.  I'm a bit daunted to do this.  But I can't put anymore together until it's done.  Again, this is my fight with perfection.  I want it to look so good, I worry about the outcome.  This weekend I need to buy fabric for the bustle skirt & buy the decoration for the sleeves.  I may need to buy more trim too.  Sorry for the lack of pics but I want to have more put together before I take pictures.  Hopefully I'll have some in a few days.  Stay tuned!
