You asked for it!

The things I do for you people! That's me hemming the polonaise.
I also realized that I haven't shown any progress pics of the polonaise since my mock-up. Here's the real thing:
( More pictures behind the cut )
( Pictures of the insides )
Obviously it doesn't fit the dressform, but it does fit me. The panniers look pretty awful without the petticoat and skirt to fill them out more. But I love how the back seams look and how the collar turned out. I used this method to put on the collar, but also had the front facing sandwiched in with the collar and strip of fabric. The pleats in the back are stitched down with a herringbone stitch.
