Almost done with the dresses

Well, not quite 'almost', but I think I got past the most difficult part... putting on the sleeves. That's always a nightmare for me because I hate doing all that gathering and then trying to fit the tiny little armscyes around the presser foot to stitch them together. Phew!

All I have to do now is apply the interfacing to the facing, finish the raw edges of the facing, and add them to the dress... and then gather & stitch the ruffles at the hemline and add the buttonholes & buttons.

I have a great dislike for facings... I'd rather do a full lining or bound edges. But they're not really the best option for this dress.
