Hokuto Sumeragi - Mad Hatter #21

skirt pieces in taffeta

At my friend's house, she has a big dining table, which made it very easy to draft the skirt. Although it's a 1/2 circle skirt, because it's very poofy, gathered both at the waist and above the frill, I simply drafted a large 1/4 circle for the waist, and then adding the skirt length, drafted a bigger 1/4 circle for the hem, using the total fabric width.

I didn't draft the bloomers because, as I feared, I don't have enough fabric.

+ I had a nice dinner table and space to draft the skirt.
- I didn't iron the fabric first, I should have.

THE CUNNING PLAN
Start sewing the white taffeta pieces.
Because I don't have enough fabric for the bloomers, which I also want to be as puffy as I can make them, I'm going to find a similar fabric, even if it's cheap lining taffeta, and make the top part of the bloomers, hidden by the skirt and the petticoat, in another fabric.
