last night I finished the pockets.

I decided to reinforce the pockets as I did not want them to stretch as you can see by the black ribbon I have carefully reinforced the seam with, the lower part of the top part of the dress forms the back of the pocket.

I then attached one side to the front, I decided against reinforcing this seam, I hope it was the right choice.

this evening I finished the back of the dress which now looks like this

tomorrow I am going to attempt the bound button holes so wish me luck.
