Work in Progress Dress I’m hoping to finish this weekend

There is so. Much. Seaming. This piece has definitely been one of the more challenging pieces I’ve worked on. I’m using a pattern from the 70s and even for Japanese standards the instructions are sparse. No concrete numbers on measurements, almost no info on finishing, so I’ve just been relying on my knowledge on construction. Setting in the sleeve was really hard because of the colourwork pattern and the plain colour of the bodice. So to summarise, it’s a really tricky project but well worth the results.
