    @sinituulia @artbyailbhe there is always room for more padding to the caboose!and if there isn't, it means that the skirt isn't wide enough!(maybe. I suspect that there is a practical limit, even for victorian skirts :D )
  • So, it’s almost done.

    @Remittancegirl @valhalla Ah, I am used to doing large costume work and alterations. I am not putting french seams in a full Elizabethan court costume, that will have to withstand multiple washings or dry cleaning. I will do hand sewing and cartridge pleating (gathering) where it is necessary.

    Skirt on the waistband! Can't wait for kiddo to try it on so I can check level and make sure it hangs well without the pillow doing weird things It's just 3 straight panels of 60" inch wide fabric. The arrangement of box pleats was faaaar trickier than I had anticipated. Victorian waistbands are surprisingly sloppy by modern standards. The extra fabric is just folded down and hangs inside the skirt, adding bulk for the waist spring. Trooper as always immediately hides under the hoops. He gets super excited when a hoop skirt is set up. Loves dashing in and out.And yes, he will play hide and seek under the skirt while it is being worn.#sewing #HistoricalCostuming #CatsOfMastodon
