Natural Form Progress
Jun. 2nd, 2011 01:01 pmI keep forgetting how bad I am being about taking/posting progress pictures for this project. Here's an underskirt pic I snapped a few weeks ago (I know!). The underskirt will be almost completely hidden, except the ruffle, but at least the photo shows the fabric.
I took this one just for reference when I was figuring out the ruffle height.

I made the belt yesterday. It's made from the same fabric as the bonnet.

I cut it on the bias, not because I thought it would drape better or because I wanted to make my life harder, but because after cutting the bonnet, the fabric I had left was a bias-edged triangle. Cutting it straight would have meant too many odd seams. The bow is 3 pieces sewn together and the belt closes with hooks and eyes.
Left to do:
collar
bodice facing
buttons/holes, hooks/eyes
