Here's the bodice with the revers clipped on just so I can get an idea of how it will look. Excuse the dark photos, the light isn't the best in the evening in my sewing room.
Then I did the sleeves. I had to bias bind the scallops on the sleeve revers, but thankfully only 5 scallops so it didn't take as long. The plaid fabric made nice binding and I was able to successfully use my little binding gadget at the iron to make perfect binding! I think it's supposed to be a bit thinner but I wanted to match the pre-bought black binding I used on the skirt.
The sleeves look so good! Of course once I sewed them into the bodice, I realized that I put the left sleeve rever on in the wrong spot - it was offset by 180 degrees, so the buttons were at the wrong seam. So, I cursed a bit, then took off the buttons and binding and redid it. Also there was supposed to be an "O" marked on the bodice armscye to line up the sleeve and that was not there. Luckily I was able to use a marked number to get it set correctly.
Next up is to bias bind the revers for the bodice. Ugh. But it's worth it, right?
