Your del looks great! Mine is all cut out, with the lining sewn. It looks like we will be a symphony in blue. I had some nice brocade in my stash, a roll of fabric perfect to be cut into trim, and a half price piece of cheap brocade for a belt. But mine will be 100% (I think) machine sewn as this is a one off for me. I think you'll like the lining [G} I'll post a picture when I get it done.
