Today I worked on closures. It turns out I had sewed the eye tape on backwards for the foundation closure, so I fixed that and my friend Kathrin helped me try on the dress again. I trimmed and slipstitched the foundation lining to the foundation, opened the button holes, and put the waist stay through. I put on the buttonloops and then marked the other side for the buttons. Here are some photos:
 |
| The waist stay on the eye side of the foundation. |

| The loops (they're on the left of the dress, this photo is upside down) and pins marking button placement. |

| Hook side of the foundation |

I also prickstitched the top edge of the bodice and did a lot of seam allowance catchstitching today. The bodice is looking more and more finished.
