I figured out my ruff! I cut a strip of organdy, tea-dyed it, and tapered the ends. Then I hemmed one edge, gathered up the other edge, encased it in bias tape, and hand-sewed the tape into the neckline.

I also stitched down the piping on the neckline, hemmed the sleeves, and started to sew the buttons on the braiding. And I painted a watered-down coat of "sand" over my boots. I think they're a lot closer to the bodice fabric color now, which makes me a lot happier.

Unfortunately, Joanns was out of the size 3 hooks and eyes when I went today. So unless they call me that they've gotten them in by tomorrow after work, I'm almost definitely going to have to go with size 2. I hope they hold!
