The velvet dress is (sort of) finished

So, I finished the dress today. But I'm not totally happy with it. The things that I don't like are:

* The bodice is too high in the front, making a sort of peak.
* The skirt needs to be be mor cut out in the front, In the photos it is folded under the bodice.
* The bodice is too long in the back

The first two I aim to do something about immediately, the last I don't know. I have just sewn all those cartridge pleats in place by hand and I don't feel too enthusiastic about ripping them upp right now. We'll see if I can live with it.
