Hanging around

liadethorneggeWell, I've now come to the point of pinning the skirt to the bodice to let it all hang out. Here's how the skirt looks, laid out on the floor. Definite a-line. You can see the seam in the back panel at the hem.
The skirt is, at this point, about 10 cm too long, and at the waist a little too short, so I'll let the hems drop, then I'll take off a bit from the top, mount it properly and then I'll even out the hems at around ankle length. I tried it on experimentally, and the few pleats I made at the waistline were not quite perfectly placed. For the front section it's fine, but the back has to accomodate for my behind, so I need a couple of pleats back there, plus one at the hips if I can manage it. Taking down from the top means that the circumference there will be bigger, which will mean I'll be able to get more pleats in.
Status: still smug about the project.
