I've done it!

[nuranar]

The second muslin of the pattern was perfect. YAY!

I've worked an hour later than I should have before a work day; but I have also marked all the beading shapes, the front and back necklines (which depend on the beading), and the lower edge of the bodice (which is not even all around).

So relieved! \o/

Also, I think I'll try to face (interface?) the hem with what's left of the black silk organza. I really don't want it to even hint at "waterfalling" off the edge of the pannier.
