Slowly slowly...

I stitched the hoops together and added a buckle, so they're all done. Then I had to repleat the petticoat waist to new tapes, but that's done now too, and I washed some linen for a new petticoat to wear with my bumroll. Since then I've sewn the bodice back lining together, worked the eyelets for the back lacing and sewn it to the fronts, (all but one little bit of a seam anyway) so hopefully Ill get to start pleating the back tomorrow!
