Little House Skirts
Just a few quick photos before I move on from this for a while.
Skirts are done!
There are 2 very stingy rows of pleats at the hem of the underskirt. The overskirt has a pleated apron front and a poufed back. There are more tapes and hooks sewed inside the back but I am still playing with how I want to pouf it. I like the poufs but you also see a lot of droopy draped backs to overskirts in the early 1880s. Since the hooks and tapes are all in, though, I have options.
The center pleats on the front overskirt are copied from a dress in Fashion in Detail. I love this detail; it keeps the dress from feeling too generic.
Left to do on this: sleeves, collar, bodice facings, buttons/holes. I am setting it aside to work on 18th century picnic stuff!
