Worked on the "hip/bustle" structure on the right side tonight. No pics (mirror image the pic from yesterday if you're having trouble visualizing it).

Ready to start putting the cardboard skin on it next.

Then... tuft testing! We'll see if it needs any tweaking before encapsulating it all in plastic.
