a detailed view (if slightly blurry) of the pleating for the fan front.  I'm super happy with the results.

laundry day at my house hehehe

Apologies for the blurry progress pictures, but I had to share and had no photographer around when I was working on it.  All I have left now is to stitch the skirt to the bodice, do the center front seam of the skirt and add a ton of lace trim.  I'm so excited to wear this dress to work.
