Hello!

In this video, I pretty much finish off the bodice! Not pictured are the handsewn eyelets and the floral decorations, but I will add those to the next video. Only missing is the skirt and overskirt!

Apologies about the missing files in the middle, they were two fashion plates that had examples of simple sleeves.
