The petticoat is finished!

But the dress still has a LONG way to go! I need to hem it first though, so I guess that's my next job, I might get to it tomorrow after work, (but probably not since I'm in work till 8 or 9) or Saturday, but I have to be in work in the morning for open day, and then the late afternoon evening I'm supposed to be going to a roller disco to see if we like skating enough to skate Victorian style in Llandrindod in the summer! So at this rate I'll have another unproductive weekend :(
Anyway, I guess it didn't happen without proof huh?! So there are a couple of pictures

The puppy seems to have slipped herself in there, oops!

The ruches are the same size, but the top one looks bigger, think it matters?


Tomorrow while I'm at work (for hours and hours and HOURS!!) I should be able to get some more work done on the sleeves, I've got one flounce with the braid pinned on ready to sew and one more to pin and sew, then they're done and I can start to put them on the sleeves. I can't decide if I'm going to just put the braid over the join at the top of the flounces or if I'm going to do a ruche with the braid down the centre, I think I'll wait and see how much fabric I have left after I do the skirt decoration.

I was reading this, and just thinking petticoat. You know, the kind you wear under a dress? Then I clicked on the link and ooooh, pretty!
The difference in size may just be an optical illusion.

Hee hee! I'm gald you got a nice surprise :D
Yes, it is just an optical illusion, I cut them the same size, I think I'm fine with it now though, it certainly doesn't bother me enough to want to rip it off and redo all that pinking!!!!!
