do I ever do things the easy way?

lol why didnt I pick a beginner pattern? I suppose its not too bad, I've got the darts sewn in the bodice and got the interfacing sewn in the neckline on the second attempt (not to self - triple check EVERYTHING before sewing otherwise your inside will end up on the outside!) do today I'm hoping to get it all pressed and start thinking about the neckline embellishment :)
