Today I attached the side-back skirt pieces, cut out the front skirt pieces (possibly slightly too short at the front...gah), and got one sewn on to the rest of the skirt.

It's only pinned in place at the waist...hopefully I can work that out tomorrow. Because it's dawning on me that TIME IS RUNNING OUT. Why hello there March, when did you sneak up on me?

And please admire my complete and total disregard of any pretense of pattern-matching on the skirt seams. Hooray for trying to conserve fabric! (Okay, I guess it's not as obvious in the picture as it is in real life.)

Honestly I would never think of matching the pattern on the skirt seams for this fabric, but that's me! You did pattern match for the sacque back, and that's the important part!! It's coming along beautifully and you will look so regal!

Yeah, they probably wouldn't have in period, either, with the whole "fabric is more expensive than labor" thing...or at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it! heh.

And thank you!

I REALLY like that fabric! Gorgeous!

Thanks! It was one of those "I in no way need this fabric, but HOW can I pass it up, now that I've stumbled upon it??" buys...but I'm very glad it bought it!

What Kat said. Matching patterns on the skirt? Madness!

[mandie-rw.livejournal.com]

Matching patterns on skirts is for pedants! xD

I would't worry about pattern matching on the skirt, the pleats will hide it. Just as long as it's right side out. And I forgot how pretty it is!

Thanks! I'm really glad I splurged on this fabric, I love working with it.

And yup, you're right, haha. The pattern's even going the same way on all the pieces, so I'm calling it Good Enough!
