Progress on My Vogue Project

I got really lazy for about a week and a half and haven't been near my sewing machine until tonight.  I'm posting some pictures of the progress of my Vogue dress.  I've got the front panels together and one set of the pleats made.  I'm fixing to start on the back panels as soon as I complete my post for the day.  Please keep in mind when looking at this that this is the first time I have ever come close to attempting matching a fabric pattern before.  There has to be a trick to it on a curved seam.  Any tips or hints?  

My Latest Project

Here's my current project, it's laying out on my kitchen table as I'm typing this.  I'm making the short sleeve view with the pictured fabric.  I will post pictures as I make progress.
