What's left to do for the wedding dress

With less than 5 months to go before the wedding, it's time to focus on my wedding dress again, especially as I would like to finish it a couple of months before the wedding... 


So I pulled together a list of what's left to do, and needless to say, the list goes on and on and on and on and on...

• Try out front drape (the large piece that goes from bodice to skirt)
• Decide how to underline the drape (whether to pleat the organza or keep it flat to which the dupion will attach)
• Cut into the fabric (argh!)
• Pleat and stablise the pleats with organza selvages
• Try out the smaller piece of drape
• Cut into the fabric to make the smaller piece
• Sew drapes into side seams of the dress
• Press seams and catch stitch all seams
• Decide on how to assemble all layers with different closures
• Cut dupion to make lining for the corselette
• Make lining for corselette
• Hand finish all edges for the lining and catch stitch
• Assemble all layers other than corselette lining at the neckline
• Assemble to the corselette lining
• Understitch
• Attach hook and eye tape to corselette
• Make modesty panel
• Attach modesty panel to outer layer
• Make loops for lace-up
• Make laces
• Fitting, fitting, fitting
• Attach loops!
• Hem with horsehair braid
• Press it and that's it!
