But I'm not loving being a girl right now :(
Anyway, the dress is progressing nicely :) The skirt is on and the sleeves cut out and ready to sew tomorrow, then setting the sleeves, shoulder straps and hemming and it's done. I am over the moon with how well it's turning out!
I also made a little bum roll today, from a remnant of green and gold shot something or other, it's teeny but it does the trick! (Watching The Duchess today I decided I needed a bit of shape on the hips as well.)
While I was patterning the sleeves (the same ones I just used for my Indian print, but I wanted the more streamlined at the sleeve head) I got Clare to take some photos for me, they're

I look kind of like death in this picture, so just ignore that!

The sash is very useful for hiding the pleats, I managed to get the centre slightly off, but this way I don't have to redo it ;)
I'm in the pub again tomorrow, but I'll have my sleeves to sew, and if I get organised in the morning, I'll mark the hem so I can do that too if I don't have to cook any lunches.
