She has a body, chemise, and petticoat. This makes her ready enough for opening day.
The chemise is one of tweeks and tucks. I added too much width for the original four shallow tucks I wanted to do. The four became six and were made deeper. It has the tiniest button and button hole I’ve done, I think.
I need to be much more careful in draping her bodice. She will get a toile before I cut into the kerchief.
I am currently picturing a deep V similar to what I plan for my wool challis. I need to look at the scale of the border before deciding whether to use it on the skirt and sleeves, or front of the bodice as well.
