Italian Renaissance Pt. 7...

So I wore the "finished" dress to the event this weekend. I need to restitch the bodice for extra support and I seriously need to trim down the skirt. It was WAY too long, even taking pregnancy growth into account. But the rest I am pleased with. Now I just need to cut and stitch the cioppa. I really can't think of any way I'd like to embellish the bodice and sleeves, as there is no pattern to work off of, so I may have to pass and keep it simple. Also, the emergency fabric for lining the skirt came in, but it was advised I wait until after the baby is born to line the skirt. So it's fine for now and less work.
