Completed Ruffles!

So once I finished attaching the annoying ruffles, I was pretty satisfied. I think it looks better than I expected, and I'm happy with the outcome (hopefully Andrea will be too!).
After they were completed, I began attaching the circular neck piece that I had created from a self-made pattern. Its a mixture of machine-stitched and hand-sewn. I still have to complete this neck piece on the back panels, though.
I also attached the bodice to the petticoat. Progress. Feels soooo goooood.
