Worked on the overskirt today after hanging it
forever. Hubby helped me level the skirt (as instructed in the Tudor Tailor) last night and I cut away
the excess. Good thing there was no one to take a picture of the process!
After
some math, I started to create my box pleats, using matching upholstery thread
for strength.
Amazingly,
they came out just perfectly. I think that the length of the skirt is not as
long as I prefer, but I need to walk around without worrying too much about the
hem.
Attaching
the skirt to the waistband was easier than I thought it would be. I still need
to find the brass hooks, but I am pleased even before I can iron the skirt to
look nice!
