Don't Faint.....

But I have actually been sewing, and even made some progress on the Archery dress.  And I even have photographic evidence!
I finely got around to pulling a pattern off the drape of the bodice and even got that cut out and stitched together.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and will only be making a couple of small changes.
I was a little concerned that it would fit strangely as Gemma is a little larger than me and the drape looked horrific on me.  But it looks like we are about the same proportion after all.  I guess breathing in all that foam dist was worth it.

The bodice front as it looks on Gemma.   


The back.  I think I'm going to lower the v here.  It looks much higher on me.  I also need to add to the length.  It's about an inch short on me.  Sorry, no pics of the back on myself.  I just can't get the camera pointed in the right direction.


The front on me.  It has more ease on me, which is perfect.  It fits comfortably.  Tight enough to do the job without restricting movement.  On the real thing it will close in the back, but as there is no one in the house to fit me, it's front closing for now.


Side view.  There is some gaping at the armhole, but we'll see how that looks once I get a sleeve on.

So next up is the sleeve.  I already have the pattern drawn up so I'm hoping to get it cut and stitched to night.  Let's see if I can manage to actually stick to my schedule.
