The Ceremony Skirt Construction
After finishing my bodice, I started the task of working on my ceremony skirt.
Because I want to have a train for my ceremony, I had to measure out how long it would be, and draft the skirt.
I measured my waist, hips, and the length from my waist to the floor.
The front has three panels, and the back has two panels, which I ended up combining into one.
After drafting, I cut two patterns: one for the lining, and one for the main material. I sewed the panels together for each.
Below is the skirt lining over the petticoat. I added a mock sash to see how it would come together.
As you can see, I just tied the sash on. Though I like how it looks with the low, narrow back.
After sewing the lining skirt, and the overlay skirt, I attached them at the top, and sides, and sewed everything together.
Below is the ceremony skirt with the bodice. I still have a ways to go, but I love how quickly everything is coming together!!!
