Just in case the storm is as bad as they are forcasting tomorrow I'll post all the rest of my bodice piccies now as I will lose connection if they are!
Views around the bodice:

The lining of the ruffle (piecing)

Buttonholes, handsewn (whoops, the image is upside down ;) )

The front opened to show the facing around the buttonhole side. The collar is lined with the same.

The meeting of the the collar lining to the bodice line. Note the super fine stitches given how fine the fabric really is (think very very fine taffeta for the weave).

I'm not sure if the row of stitch marks below the collar are original or from alterations, I need to look closer at it.
