The skirt and bodice need to be joined, and it still needs the pintucks at the hem, hooks & eyes, buttons, sleeves hemmed, etc. But all the machine stitching is finished.
The dress is skin-tight in the sleeves and waist, which is giving me fits. I think I may have to let the sleeves out just a bit so that dressing the doll isn’t as difficult (with the close fit in the sleeve, the hands just barely squeeze through, and short of many buttons on the sleeve, there’s no real fix).
Wow! You did a lot since last post! Thanks for the update! Do whatever you think best as far as the sleeves go.
