Shirtwaist dress update

I know I haven't been very good at updating you on my Heather Ross shirtwaist project, but I've been hold waiting for my Liberty fabric to come in, as I'm going to use it as my contrast fabric. And here it is, finally!

Now I can really get on it.. I have most of the non-contrasting fabric steps finished, for instance the shell of the dress is all together..

And the placket in front is ready to go..

I even busted out the serger to clean up my seams. I hadn't used my serger in so long, I had forgotten what a little gem it is.

Look at those clean seams!

If all goes according to plan I should get the rest of it done this week...well, maybe not the buttons. I tend to put those off..they can be next week!
