Before we go on to the new project, I wanted to show you a new little touch I added to my projects starting last year. I decided to add tags with info on the costume that I may want to know later on.
On the skirt, I added the fabric information also and care information.
So, on to the next project! Jen's Bustle Dress.
First I washed the skirt fabric and dried it.
And then ironed it all.
This whole washing thing before you cut and sew was something I used to totally ignore. But then some skirts shrank a bit more than their lining and I learned that lesson. I like that sizing stiffness that new fabrics have. Now I usually use heavy starch to replace it when I iron it. I did not use starch on this fabric.
This is what I will be making.
The skirt and bodice are the same I just used for the Mourning Dress.
Tomorrow I hope to get to cutting the fabric.

I made the skirt pattern to Jen's measurements.
