Sometimes it so happens that a fabric robs me of my senses – and after regaining them I realise it has moved in with me.
This happened recently with black-green striped fabric. And I know what I want to do with it: Victorian! a partly striped TV Parisian trained skirt, and a dinner bodice similar to this one.
And to go with it: jewellery.
This is the sketch, and here‘s some inspiration for the skirt – since I was particularly puzzled about how to do the skirt side panel. It somehow breaks up the lines of front apron and the back pouf and I couldn’t parse it right at first. Su’s amazing WGT dress deserves a special mention.
I cut pattern pieces D (back pouf), G (top apron), H (lower apron), E and F (train) from the striped fabric – I don’t recall exactly, but I think 4 meters ought to be sufficient. The remaining pieces are made from black taffeta.
