elizabeth_mnFinished the petticoat yesterday for the Halloween dress.
Plain white muslin, ruffles 6.5" deep, ripped across selvages (because I didn't want to have to hem them). 1/2" waistband, single tie of twill tape at CB. All the panels are joined with French seams.
It's probably a little too full in the front and sides for 1880s, and I kind of feel like I am about to go square dancing when I put it on, but I just hate limp, unsupported skirts, and I imagine the weight of the sateen will calm the poofiness down a little. Plus, ruffles are just too awesome to be resisted.
