My new dress form

My new dress form arrived today! She's wonderful - and I've decided to name her Antoinette.

Here she is:


And here is a picture of Antoinette wearing my progress so far on my Pre-Raphaelite chemise (which will from here on out be referred to as my blue chemise).


Right now, I'm in the process of sewing on the lacing rings in the back, and the sleeves are cut out and ready to go together. Though I will probably have to move on to the bodice or overlayer of it, since the trim I'm waiting on hasn't shipped yet.

Finished the lacing rings on the blue chemise. Here's a pic:


And the trim shipped this morning, so hopefully it will be here in 2-5 days. I just hope it's right!
