Anyway, I made the entire petticoat today, save for the waistband. It was much more time consuming that I originally thought it was going to be since 1) I didn't go with my first instinct and make a plain petticoat, but made a ruffled hem instead, and 2) I didn't have a thread that matched the fabric colour, so instead I hemmed it with a machine embroidery stitch in metallic gold. It looks nice, though, so I'm pleased.
The only other thing I managed today was to add the sleeves to the bodice. I still need to make the ruffles and make the trimmings, though. The overskirt is assembled and draped, but I still need to hem it and attach it to the bodice. So, at this point, it's mainly finishing that remains. Here's a pic of today's progress:
