The Rapunzel bodice is done! I piped the armseyes, put the lace on the sleeve hems, cut down the entire sleeve head by 1.25", gathered the sleeve heads, and set the sleeves. Luckily, I did one sleeve first, and checked the fit, because there was just too much length in the front of the pouf. I ripped out a small section of the front of the seam, and reset it about 1.5" lower at the biggest point. Then I just cut that much off the other sleeve before I set it. I'm quite happy with how it is now.

I also whipstitched the modestly panel into the front, and changed out the button closure/removed the weird cat-tag on the "satchel" I purchased on ebay. And I dyed a pair of white walking shoes pink.

No pictures yet, because I finished all that past my bedtime and didn't feel like lacing up the bodice.

So now comes the hard part - the engineering. I want to figure out a way to attach the hanging braid of the wig to my shoulder. I'm thinking the largest size whopper popper I can find. At the same time, though, I don't want to limit my movement when I turn my head, so maybe a whopper popper attached to twill tape? Or does anyone have any ideas? I also want to be able to attach my little Pascal plush to various places on the costume or my bag, so I'm thinking of putting 1-2 large pin backs on his stomach or feet, so that he's moveable from place to place.
