overskirt progress

I've got the front sewn to the back at the right side and the front hem done. Need to do the left side placket, back gathering/waistband, back poufs, back hem, closure buttons and button holes, and ruffles.

Here are the progress photos with the skirt pinned to the mannequin










I have the petticoat train clipped up so the cats don't ruin it. They already put a big ole hole in it about 6 inches above the top ruffle when they went tearing across it at mach 9.

I thought I talked about this project here, but I can't find the entry! Yes, I'm making the Lizzy "arrival in England" gown for June 14th. That gown deserved much more air time than it got.
