The Skirt Starts to Come Together

 So I decided that in putting the skirt together - I'd put all the pieces together first - then attach the layers of tulle and layers of skirt.  What you ee to the left re the top two layers of skirt laid together just for the visual.  The underskirt was easy to put together, just three seams.  I layered on tulle to get the train to start to stand out - but I didn't want to add too much - so until I try it on Gina, I'll leave that alone.

 Next I added a bunch of tulle to the bottom of the outer skirt - and attached the bottom layer.  THEN - I ran out of tulle.  So you can see the pictures, but I can't do any more until Gina comes for a fitting.

She's coming up next weekend!  Then I will try the two separate bodice pieces on her - I need to make sure they fit before I can trim down the seam allowance and attach the boning and bra cups.  In the pictures you can see the skirt is "attached".  It's just pinned on - it's not sewn on yet.  Before I attach the skirt - I need to finish the bodice and attach the zipper.

Then I will attach the skirt - and it'll be close to done!

So this is where I'm at!
