Where, oh where, did my second page go?

I am right, smack dab in the middle of M5466, the view in the pic (complements of McCall's) and I realized that I am missing page 2 of my instructions. Now I don't find that particularly surprising considering the absolute chaos my home has been in for the last 3 weeks, but it is particularly annoying. The bodice is done, except the back/zipper. The front skirt is done to the pockets and pleats. And the back pleats are done (I contemplated changing out the back pleats for darts, but my fabric is lying nice and flat, so I don't think I'll have butt fluff issue - I'll let you know, stay tuned). Sooooo, what's next? Do I sew the side skirt seams (yes, I think), then attach skirt to bodice (yes, I think), then do the back to include kick pleat and zipper. Now about that kick pleat. I just struggle with the darn things. They can't be that hard, but I just don't get it. Everytime. And I wanted my directions for it. **sigh** So if anyone can help me out with this, I'll mention you on my world-famous blog as a thanks. I promise.

I had also decide when I started this dress, that I didn't want the pockets, so I didn't cut them out. But I didn't pay enough attention to the line drawing to realize that the pockets were an intregal part of the skirt and they either had to be included or the skirt modified to do away with them. Well, sisters, it was way too late for THAT. So I had to cut the pockets out tonight. I did the pocket lining out of some dark green lining fabric I had left (see the "Sunday Afternoon Skirt"), to reduce bulk and allow for better movement. The cotton wants to hang onto itself, so I think this will make it move easier. Again, I'll let you know.

On the home front, for the first time in over two weeks we came home to peace and quiet. The fans and dehumidifyer are gone, the dry wall is up and almost all painted. The hole in the ceiling is covered. And they were all gone and no one was here and there was no noise. Ahhh. Now we're not done by a long shot. No siree, bob. We still painting to finish, carpet to replace, baseboards to place and a boat load of cleaning - they still aren't clear on the whole "COVER IT UP, DAMN IT" concept. And I wonder how I lost page 2?

The final image for tonight is my bedroom with the closet contents vomited out into it. If you can find page 2 in there, I'll give you a cookie - if I can find my cookie jar.
