Petticoat Excitement!



 I've wanted to make a petticoat ever since I first started sewing. After seeing the petticoat variation project for the Elizabeth Gathered-Waist Dress in BurdaStyle Sewing Vintage Modern, I decided to go for it and finally make one!

I searched for petticoat and tutu pictures for inspiration and read through a few different tutorials (including the variation project in the book). In the end though, I mostly improvised and played around with the fabric as I sewed.

I'm pretty excited about this latest addition to my wardrobe because now I can make any skirt pouffy!

    One of the first things I ever sewed was a long Victorian-style petticoat with cotton lace. I would wear it under skirts and my friends would ask how I got the skirt to stand out so nicely! Anyway, I really enjoyed it as a fun and different (and warm) way to be "ladylike." Maybe I should make another one . . .

    It's so pretty and the poof looks wonderful! What sorts of fabric did you end up using?
