This is ridiculous.
This dress assembles very easily--I could probably cut and do most of the basic sewing in an hour (not counting seam finishing and setting the zipper). Seriously, it's a piece of cake.

Fitting the bloody thing, though, will require me to work 42 hours straight on Saturday alone.
I made a full muslin last night. I was right--I added too much length to the bodice, but that's easy to fix. I need to taper out a little more under the arms. The front is poochy but I think shortening the waist and taking in the underarms will help that, and it's meant to be a little fluffy in the front with the gathering and the bow. I think I need to add a little width to the front skirt to make the gathered sections look better, too.
I haven't even looked at the sleeves, which will be their own engineering project. Sleeves always are.
You can't see it here, but the waist seam is below the belt. But . . . progress.
