I had a lot of stuff to do this weekend and didn't get much--any, really--sewing done. I did run off a fast bodice muslin last night. I think the whole thing is in pretty good shape, although I'm taking about an inch out, total, under each arm, tapering out to the waist, and 1/4 inch off of each shoulder. Baggy underarms seem to have been a thing, midcentury? I don't know. I don't think this would work with the sundress version, especially. The half-inch I already added to the length of the bodice appears to be about right.
Saturday was Pioneer Day at Jones Park and Sunday, Mom and I went to Galveston. We went on an impromptu birding trip with a local friend after meeting, and saw a bunch of night herons, an osprey, a willet, and a rail.
I took off of work on Monday and Mom and I went "Christmas shopping", such as we ever do in our family. I confess I'm the Queen of Amazon.com in real life, but it was an excuse to go downtown and get fancy bagels for breakfast.
