More proof of my industry

(From Instagram.)

It was actually much simpler than I feared - it did take roughly all day, but that was just because of volume and distractions. I originally intended to slip-stitch both sides of the binding, but after about two stitches on the first one I realized that was silly and did big running stitches on the reverse. The triangles were very fast; it's the inner corners on the cuff trim pieces that took the longest, all of the points were pretty simple. I didn't try to miter them or anything, just folded the silk over. (Technically this cotton is riding the line in terms of the appropriateness of mixing it with silk - the original dress was a sheer silk and this is a semi-sheer madras check, but then, the silk trim here is a very cheap habotai anyway.)

As I sit here sewing the piping to the strips that will, overlapping at the shoulders, make up the neckline, I begin to think that this dress really will be, dare I say it, Katherine/Sabine-tier. Mm-hm, yes, indeed.
