Cut and made up the shift, and a toile for the stays, which underwent a radical change after seeing this one from E Bay. I cut my centre front to the fold, split the front at the darts, on the grain, shaped the edges to resemble the shape of the gussets, and sewed the whole thing together - much better, and more places to alter the fitting.
I've also cut the man's trowsers and made them up in toile, and am in the process of altering the coat to make the body longer. That will be finished tonight.
I hope to have the drawers and petticoat at least basted before I go to bed. I don't sleep well the night before a fitting, but am not good first thing, so staying up late is my usual solution - we'll see.
