You stabilized with organza, but since you curved it with the seam line, you'll have a bias of organza on the bias of the sleeve. Gertie's is straight grain of organza on a bias of the sleeve.<br />I think it's entirely up to you if you unpick it. You could leave it or unpick it. I'd unpick if you have extra time, but perhaps leave it in if you're shorter on time. <br /><br />As to the waistband, interfacing a waistband with grosgrain ribbon would be lovely. I wouldn't use the poly kind from a craft store, but the nice rayon kind (like sunni of a fashionable stitch has in her online shop).<br /><br />I LOVE seeing all of your progress with a wedding dress. It's so exciting. :D Good luck.zilredlohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626730299584724606noreply@blogger.com
