Almost done

I just have the hooks and eyes to sew onto the waistband and then the Gala gown can be officially done! So here are some very badly lit pictures I took the other day when I was trying it on to find out where I needed to put the hooks and eyes. I was lazy so I'm not wearing any petticoats. Also, please forgive the wrinkles on the silk skirt (which is also bustled up in these pictures because I got tired of picking dog hair off the underside of the train). It will get ironed one of these days.
