All the rows of trim have been sewn onto the minty-gray underskirt. There's still a lot of embellishment needing to be done by hand, but it has to wait until the over-skirt and bodice are done, so I can see the entire outfit and decide on the colour of the final details.
This photo, taken by natural light in my work-space, is a lot closer to the actual colours of the skirt, than the photo of the trims I took outside yesterday. For some reason, the turquoise ribbon and gray lace looked a lot darker than they really are, and the lovely aqua/blue sheen of the gray satin was all washed out. Maybe it was the hot, humid, pre-thunderstorm lighting.
