Light at the End of the Tunnel

 
Here's the finished partlet.  You can see where the tension got wonky.  It looks worse in the photo than it really is because the mannequin isn't shaped like a  corseted body. The lines should lay straighter when it's on and pinned to the corset in back. 
 
Today's goal was to get the skirt attached to the bodice & get the hemming done.  I put a 2.5" canvas guard around the bottom to protect the velvet from abrasion & because the period examples I've studied seem to do that consistently.  This photo is where the train turns so there's a curve to ease in.
