January 30: 11:45-12:30 Finished gathering threads in bodice fronts and back, tacked back lining and fabric together and drew up gathers.
January 31: 11:30-12 pinned in front plackets, basted neckline, started right placket
February 4: 12:05-12:40 Finished right placket, stitched both darts right side
Sometime between 2/5-8: pulled up gathers of left side, basted in place; finished right placket and one dart
February 11: 12:25-12:45 finished second dart and pulled up gathers; Began basting fabric to lining.
February 28: 12-12:30 Bodice attach right front to back, pin left front in place.
March 4: 11:30-12:30 Finish attaching fronts to backs, test fit (without corset, see note): the fit is a shade too tight for wear with buttons and functioning button holes once I put my corset on. Let sides out about 3/8 inch each side to take strain off fasteners. Begin neck-piping
Note: My corset actually increases the size of my ribcage by about ½ inch before decreasing my waist size about 1.5 inches.
Mar 5: 11:30-12:00 Finish armscye and waist piping, attach neck piping
