Worked on the bustle/train part of my gown today.  Joined the two pieces together with a french seam, so no raw edges and then cut out and hemmed a facing from silk in a contrasting colour.  Cut out strips of silk to make a pleated ruffle, which proved to be very time consuming and caused a slight loss of temper!  So marvel at the pictures below so I know it was worth it...

(Sorry, this picture should be the other way around...)
