Recent sewing project

So, I decided that I wanted a short-sleeved Civil War dress. The only problem was that the only short-sleeved CW dress pattern we had was too low at the neckline and rather difficult to raise, and I didn't want to do one with my slopers this time. So I got together 2 patterns for the bodice and, with a skirt made without a pattern, now have an outfit that I actually like. :)
For the actual bodice I used Simplicity 4078, but somehow I can't find it anywhere on the internet :-/ while the sleeves came from Butterick 6693
