So close

I'm almost done! I just need to mark the skirt hem and actually hem it. This evening I hemmed the wrists in a not-very-period way and the neckline in a very-period way. I cut the sleeve lining 2 inches shorter than the outer fabric and then turned the outer fabric twice to cover the raw edge of the lining. I hemmed the wrists by hand using a sort of whip-stitch-like thing, my interpretation of what Costume Close-up calls a slanted hemming stitch. For the neckline, I turned the outer fabric and lining in towards each other and used point a rabattre sous la main. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] koshka_the_cat for her video tutorial! This whole thing should be finished this week. Then some sort of pictures and on to the stays.
