Nearly done, with a spanner in the works

I've nearly finished the Indian print, I would have been more nearly finished but I'm helping my best friend out, her chef has left her in the lurch, so I'm covering making sandwiches in her pub for today and the next few days, either till she gets a new chef, or till I have to go back to work.
I have managed to make the peplum though, it's all pined on, and I had a fitting so it's ready to be sewn tomorrow. The centre fronts are right so I can do the hooks and eyes, and I made the sash, except I made it from 3 panels of silk, when I think I only needed 2, so I have to undo a seam and finish the ends - all those extra feet of hand sewn hem down the drain :'(
I was hoping to be able to post some photos for you, but it's being so slow, and it's way past my bed time, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait till tomorrow now :(
Even though I'm only helping Gemma at lunch time I have to go into school in the morning to borrow soe bits and bobs for my Mother, and she will drop me at Gemma's after, so it's lucky I have lots of sewing to do! Hopefully once I get back at about 3 I will be able to start my Gaule.
