who's got the button?

We had another sewing party today. This time we got to check out [livejournal.com profile] mandie_rw's HUGE new sewing room...I think it's bigger, no I KNOW it's bigger than my whole living room/dining room combo. I am envious.

I showed up with a fitted mock up and I took home a bodice that was assembled everywhere but the side seams, had all it's button holes and a zipplock baggie of 21 self covered buttons. While watching the football game tonight I have sewn on all of said buttons.

Cut for those who don't want to see pictures of our silliness )

So that just leaves: Sleeves, Facing the bodice skirts, finishing the neckline, adding boning...oh and an entire over skirt. Not the BEST place to be 6 days before the event, but not the WORST shape I've ever been in...
