What do you think?

Well, it's taken until after lunch, but I'm pinning the bodice together. Question for the group: should I face the peplum of the bodice with the black silk of the bodice (the original does this, not in black) or the purple silk of the underskirt and bodice trim (exciting!)? The latter is my preference at all times even when, in this case, nobody's likely to see it - I just love contrasting linings and facings.

Same question goes for the sleeve ruffles, tbh. Although these facings are definitely going to be seen. They're essentially like this or the blue one (though there's gathering below the elbow rather than just a belled sleeve).
