Simplicity 4055 Status

This pattern has a lot of pieces! A lot more than I thought! I traced off all the bodice pieces in a size 10 to create a muslin. I was really  relieved that there weren't any fitting issues and that I could trace the rest.
 
I don't want to complain (since I volunteered to make this dress!) but this pattern is a lot of work!!! Not difficult just lots of pieces and  quite a bit of fiddling.
 
Last night I cut out all the pieces from the main fabric, lining and the overlay. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy all over again! Here is how far I have gotten last night:

 
I pin-basted the overlay to the main fabric. Tonight I am going to baste it with the machine and make the bodice and sleeves.
 
Pasha wants to go to the Teen Center Halloween dance on Friday... I hope I'll get it done until then!?
 
What are you working on?
 
Take care,
Me
