Almost done!

Pinned, basted, and sewed the two bust seams. Also put in the spiral steels and tried it on. And it gives the nicest shape! (I really wish I could take pictures. Silly camera.) I'm so excited. The satin wrinkles, but that's sort of to be expected. It's too thin and there's only one strength layer. Plus, there's also my lack of experience. There was a reason I didn't want to use a satin for this. (It feels nice though. And, wrinkles aside, looks pretty.) But overall, I'm super happy with it. Especially since it means that my actual, historical repro version will go well. All that's left now is the binding and the skirt.
