Finished bodice

The bodice, which somehow turned out to be all hand sewn, is now finished (except that I might add hooks and eyes to close the wool layer over the lacing. I have started on the skirt, but sewing skirt panels together by hand demands time in front of the telly and today I won't have that.
Here are some pictures of the bodice, it's lining and a bad photo of me wearing it (with a leopard print t-shirt under).

It is boned with cable ties with three pieces on each front, one under each arm and two in the middle of the back.

Fabulous! And such quick progress as well. Nicely done.
