Back waist, finished, except for the partial motifs on the ends where the side seams will be.

And currently in progress, the front piece, which combines waist and neckline. It doesn't look like much yet, but the biggest part of the outlining is done. The filling in can be tedious, but it goes faster. Those tiny beads and the side-by-side bugles are quite a job.
