Underskirt's done! I ended up adding a tie at the top, at low-hip height - there was just too much skirt otherwise. The bottom one is in a channel below the knees, and doesn't do enough on its own. I still have to put a hook at the top (so I guess it's technically not quite done), but I can't do that til I put the corset on, and I'm probably too lazy to do that til I'm making a bodice mockup.



Now I need to think about a hat! (Yes, hat before dress. Otherwise, no hat.) I'd prefer a straw, but that's made difficult by the fact I only have about three yards of straw braid on hand. That would be one tiny hat... I'm not keen on spending anything on this costume, but I might pop by the thrift store this weekend and see if there's a hat I can dessicate. Otherwise, fabric covered buckram it is!
