Does my bum look big in this?

[mlsdesigns]

I decided my skirts needed some help, and I really don't like the shape my bum rolls give me, so I made a new rump :D I used Kendra's awesome article from DemodeCouture: demodecouture.com/late-18th-century-skirt-supports/ it's number 3, I ended up making mine bigger than the text, it's 16" long by 39" wide. Instead of quilting it in lines to form the squares, I just tied off each corner of the squares with embroidery cotton, it's made of the same cream open stripe 'linen' that my banyan is lined in, and wadded with wool.

It gives my skirts a very nice shape, but you'll have to wait for pictures. Tomorrow I'm hoping to get the sleeves done and start working out trimming, so you may get a picture then ;)

That looks great! You know when I saw Kendra's post I thought " should make one of those" now I definitely need one! I'll bet that is a lot more comfortable to drive in than my false rump...
