Oh that looks great and SO pretty!

Yay for unpacking... that is really a rough job. You got so much done!

Thank you! I think I'm going to have to make all my undergarments out of pink seersucker from now on. :)

Clever! Looks so cute! I've learned that one can never have too many bum pads. I accidentally made on that is too big for what I wanted at the time (c.1882), but will be great for c.1885 and for use with a late 1860s crinoline (when it gets made) for early bustle.

By pattern, I guess I should have said, I traced around the old bum pads directly onto my fabric. But you are welcome to come over anytime and trace off this bum pad!
