Petticoat progress
Sep. 21st, 2012 12:30 amI.e., finished. I thought it was finished after I hemmed it last night, but decided it needed to go up another 1/4". So I did that tonight (along with sewing approximately three inches of the shift), and, done!
And I only ironed it very halfheartedly, as you can tell! I'll have to iron it again anyway the day before faire, why bother now...
Looks pretty much like you'd expect an orange silk taffeta petticoat to look, no? (And note the very 16thc appropriate Small Faces t-shirt.)

I got more of my fabric fun today (not the duck I need for new effigy stays, naturally); white linen for the shift, and the red silk for the Titanic exhibit dress, which I'll post more about my plans for tomorrow.
