Seaside skirt
Jul. 6th, 2013 08:49 amI put this together yesterday. Yes, I went with plan C - this is the new fabric.
It's over my red silk lobster bustle and two petticoats: the white muslin one I made to go with the cupcake dress and a really old unbleached muslin one with tons of ruffles.
I got it together and I really like the way it looks, but then I realized the problem. It's too full!
When does this ever happen? I am cheap and tend to skimp and skirts being too full is not usually an issue. I've had this article stuck in my head for a couple months, and I keep thinking "when in doubt, go bigger. Add an extra panel. More is more!"
Well, usually it is. But the problem is that now the skirt is too full for the trim to lay correctly. My inspiration dress is here. I'm assuming that the overskirt is simulated; the description says it's separate but doesn't it look like it's just applied trim?
Anyway, I could either cut some of the fullness out of the skirt or I could make a separate overskirt. I think I need to stare at it some more before I decide.
