atherleisureMy Easter dress is nearly finished.
I just have to put in the inside belt and decide about the third skirt layer. I've cut and sewn the seams on an extra lawn layer, and I'm planning to use it, but I need to decide whether to sew it into the skirt or make it a separate petticoat that can be worn with other 1950's dresses. It fits pretty well, but I might take apart the shoulder seams and shorten the back just a touch. I already cut off 1/2" or so at the waist, but I think the back is still a little too long when I hold my shoulders back. It's great if I hunch over, but I don't want to do that.
Speaking of posture, it was good to hear the archery instructress tell me that I was doing a good job of keeping my shoulders back when shooting Saturday - I couldn't do anything else in my stays!
