Party Dress: Muslin Fitting

Today I put together my muslin (known elsewhere as a toile, which is funny, because each term refers to different types of cheap cotton). There was hardly any stitching besides stay stitching- just the center back seam, where the zipper resides. All the other seams are pin basted for the fitting.
I used a lot of pins, two complete sets. I don't know how many that is; over 100.
Pin fitting Butterick 5761:
Shapeless Sack

Pinned in at the waist

with belt
I have stopped waffling on the belt-over-corset idea, because this looks so cute and 50s!


In other news, I made cookies.
