Of hooks and eyes

The bodice itself is sewn, I need to fit the darts though. But to do that I need to finish the back closures so I can fit it properly. I have 2 down, about 5 to go!

I need to trim the bodice down as well, it's a little long for me, it is an 1860's bodice that I'm turning into an 1840's bodice, so it's to be expected.

But some updated pictures. Half sewn, dart placements, I can't get a clear enough picture of the hook and eye closures though. But they will be shown. I'm sewing those with a silk thread which is funnily enough called 'Regina'.
