I will definitely be making a "muslin" of the bodice before going any further into the dress. The pattern calls for 5 yards, the material I fell in love with at JoAnn Fabrics was the end of the bolt and only 4 3/4 yards. That translates to one shot.
When I get the battery on my camera charged, I will definitely take some pictures of the notions before beginning. This is so exciting!
