I took Christie's skirt and blouse to her today. I made it with the idea that it was to be very comfortable to wear. . . . Dressing up is not really her cup of tea. Everything fit so now I need to finish the hem, it is just baisted right now. And we decided I would make her a bustle pad too.
So once the hem and bustle pad are done that will be the end to that project. Deadline is before March.
Then, I have started the first 1860 hoop-skirt dress!
Between other activities, I spent a couple days tracing out the patter, which is Simplicity #2881. It has a lot of pieces, especially since it is for several sizes.
I cut out just the pieces for the skirt this morning. I haven't worked with a Simplicity pattern in some time and I wanted to get a feel for their pattern before trying the more complicated bodice.
So far I have the cartridge pleats pretty much ready to go for the waistband.
