Aargh!

The amount of minutes a soon to be five years old girl is awake before saying in a complaining voice "I have nothing to do-o":
15.

Almost finished

I have done some minor alterations on the dress (generally making it smaller) today and now I'm going to baste the zipper in place before trying and sewing. The sleeves are tricky, but will be easier to get right after I'm able to close the dress correctly.

Trying it on

I need to shorten the bodice in the front (and it wouldn't hurt in the back), I just haven't decide how yet: by taking away some at the bottom or by lifting at the shoulders; the yokes may actually go a little too far down. In any case it involves taking up my carefully basted zipper.

ETA Seems like lifting a little at the shoulders will alleviate the problem.
