The Edwardian Adventure (previously here, here and here) continues with the petticoat. There is no real reference for this petticoat. It’s literally just the lining that was cut out of the purple skirt, with an added bit along the bottom. The waistband is some made up weird construction of two bits to tape sewn together along the top. There’s a hook and eye at the end, and there’s a little bit of overlap. I think I had a brilliant idea about that at the time, but I have forgotten what it was, so it might not have been that brilliant.

The bottom is finished with a very long strip of the same fabric, gathered down to make a ruffle of sorts. I pressed it, stupidly, which means that it is not nearly as ruffly as I would have liked it to be. However, it does do its job.

A while ago, I was feeling eccentric and decided to walk to the supermarket while wearing the purple skirt, those low heels from the pictures, my red coat, and the dragon. While walking there, I kept hearing some strange noises. Turns out that the hem was actually hitting the pavement.. With the petticoat underneath, I no longer hear noises when I walk about. I call it a success!
Next up, a blouse to go with it all.
