Have progressed - with several other projects in between - to fitting the pannier skirt. It is cartridge pleated, and arranged in the manner of 18th C. and New Look Skirts - with the fullness over the hips, not across the stomach or backside. The seams were machine sewn with edges turned under. The gathering and application is all by hand.

My daughter Bridgie refers to this as my Fairy Princess dress.... That wasn't my intention, but it does bear a strong resemblance to Disney Princess gowns, because Walt used those silhouettes. I'm trying not to make this mean I can't wear it; it's meant for the opera or other such occasions.
