YAY!

My cancan skirts are officially finished! YAY! I rehemmed the underskirt (what a pain) and added bias tape to the top ruffle. I also finally hemmed the overskirt.

I squeezed myself into my corset and took a few pictures... )

Hmmm, I think a little over 100 hours on both skirts once everything was said and done. I'm not going to do another ruffled underskirt for a long time...or at least until I forget the pain of this one, lol!

And thanks. :)

Thank you! :)

BTW, I saw the sketch your friend did of the Hindi trim. AMAZING. I can't wait to see what it looks like in bullion.

Thank you!

I don't think I would have been quite so enthusiastic about the whole project if I knew just how much work all of the ruffles would be. Ah well, it's done and I don't have to do another one for a LONG time. :D

Ruffles are evil. That's all there is to it! Hooray for being done :)
