YESSSSSSS!

The dress, save for the last few hooks and eyes, is done! I can't believe what a difference the corset makes under it. I was afraid the dress wouldn't fit properly, that the arms would be too tight, but it looks like a dream. Only trouble is I cut the neckline a bit too wide in the back, so the corset straps are visible, but that might be fixable with someone else to put it them place, as I can't reach back there with these sleeves. Otherwise, I guess a last-minute fichu will be in order.

G's vest will not even be contemplated at this late stage, but his pants are almost done and the rest of my time will be devoted to finding shoes, doing my hair and baking banana bread. Because I promised to contribute food for the party, but forgot about you know, buying bananas and all that. So I have to go out and buy bananas. And eggs. And... do I have enough butter?
