Bodice and Sleeves:

The sleeves on Anne’s dress are definitely “Puffy”. That was the fashion back then!! Some even joked that the women had to turn side ways to get through the door!

Here’s a picture of the sleeves pinned into the mock-up bodice:

Finishing up the bodice and adding the lacy collar:

Lace and Ruffle Neckline

Added a little bow on the end of the sleeves for a sweet touch

Almost finished!!
