Ok, so a couple months ago we got a new ZM for the front end and ever since I've been scheduled like almost every day, it's freakin ridiculous! I get that they need people and all, but I've only had more than one day off in a row once in the last two months...I'm freakin' exhausted! So, I went and changed my availability and it dropped me down to about 3/4 the hours I have been getting lately. I'm happy...not really looking forward to less money, but I'm definitely looking forward to more time away from that infernal place. Also, because I've been working so much, I've barely had time to sew. I've gotten the bustle and all of my petticoats done, but I still have the chemise, drawers, corset, corset cover, and then the dress still left to do, with only 4 months to go!! I didn't realise just how long it would take to make three petticoats and a bustle...and they took my WHOLE BOLT of muslin!! 25 YARDS! Sooooo many ruffles! *cries* I also fixed the waistband on my bustle because it was way too big and wasn't strong enough to hold everything up...this weighs a ton already...
Anywho....
Here's the petticoats....
Number 1...
Number 2...
I used the bottom ruffle pattern piece from the first petticoat for the ruffles.
Number 3...
Again, used the bottom ruffle pattern piece from the first petticoat for the ruffle.
Front View...pardon the armpits. lol
Back View...
If you hadn't noticed...this dress is gonna be ginormous! lol It fills out the entire doorway....and it's a handicap doorway! O_O
It's might be a ginormous dress, but it's going freaking beautiful from what I see! Your talent amazes me! :o Good luck on getting it all done! You're going be a beautiful bride. :)
