The wardrobe: 1880ies petticoat

My underskirts look a bit sad without a petticoat. Thus: TV170, view 3 to the rescue.

I used 4m of white striped fabric (some cotton/linen mix) and followed the instructions precisely (tucks, gatherings...). The only exception was to add 5cm in the front and 15cm in the back part because my bustles are rather large.

During sewing a thought occured to me: 6 meters are a small distance to walk, but a long hem to sew.

PS: Yes, sometimes I actually finish projects. This petticoat took me about 16 hours distributed over four days.

Oh ja, 6m sind lang. ;)

Ich nehme an, vom "traurigen" Unterrock gibt es keine Fotos, oder?
