Done! A pretty good success, too!

The dress got done and it fit! Hurrah!  I have had a lot of fitting issues in the past year, but I think I have the swing of things now.  In any case, the dress worked out well and I am pleased with it.  Here is a shot from the event:

Here is one of those self portrait shots of the whole dress at home:

Yes, I know terrible shot but I forgot to get a good picture at the event.  Sigh.

I ended up with different buttons than the ones I was working with but over all the whole outfit came off great.  Now if I can only find seamed hose in tights or pantyhose rather than stockings....
