Yay!

My serger arrived today, two whole days early! Which is really wonderful, since I'm off the next two days. :) And so far so good! I serged all my bodice pieces, and it's working wonderfully. At this point, all my bodice pieces are together, though I think I'll need to do a facing for the back (since I'm making the crazy and probably stupid decision to be historically accurate, and lace this bodice up the back).

I've also looked into how the skirts were attached (since no one responded yesterday), and it looks like a lot of the skirts were attached directly to the bodice, so that's what I plan to do. I'm basing my overskirts off the pattern for the ballgown in Cut of Women's Clothes.
