I'm getting on well with my second garment.
Thank you so much for the advice on doing a narrow shoulder adjustment - I'm very pleased with the shoulders on this one, and it's an unforgiving material. Actually, the material is quite strange. It was very cheap (£4.80 for 3m) and was intended to be used for a toile, but it was nicer than I expected. It was described as cotton denim, but there's a lot of something else as well as cotton. It's lovely to wear. I tried to go back and get more, but it had all gone.
The embroidery caused more problems on the second attempt, and I had to finish part of it by hand, but I'm quite pleased with it now. Lowena will be delighted to see that not only is there embroidery on this garment, but there is green in the embroidery.
Next job is to do the neckline facing, shaping it to match the embroidery. No yoke on this one. Then the peplum and the ruffles on the sleeves. This is a lot looser than the dress (which is cotton lawn, or something very similar), but because of the drape in the fabric it doesn't look it.
