Of course, the answer is "more."
I've been doing dress fittings with two petticoats over my bustle: the new taffeta and one really old crummy unbleached muslin with fraying unfinished seams and a hole in it. To replace exhibit B, I made this last week: fine, bleached muslin, cut gored in front and gathered in back, completely enclosed seams, with a nice tidy finish. The ruffle is about 10", 2x the hem width, gathered, with a small bias strip covering the raw edge. The petticoat closes with a button placket.
I know I needed it, but I still think I was partly in aviodance mode when I made this. My gown is still stumping and terrifying me. I've got one row of pleats attached to the skirt, and I've put all the bones in the bodice. I've even made some sleeves that don't look completely awful. But I still feel like there are a couple more challenges that I don't want to face. Undies are fun and quick and now I feel like I've accomplished something so I can get back in the game.
