Closures
I sewed a hook onto my petticoat a while ago. Just finished sewing the eyelet. So that is now officially done!
The skirt is coming along too. It's all together and I just did the button and buttonhole. I'm taking a page out of jenthompson's book an putting elastic at the back to hold the front of the skirt back. When I tried everything on the other day it was just too poofy, but holding the back part of the skirt back a bit gave the right natural form shape. I sewed one side down. Just need to try everything on again and measure the elastic. Then it's just hem and ruffles. The ruffles will have to wait until I'm done the polonaise though, to make sure I have enough fabric.
