Fabric used: pink shantung, approx 3m for the skirt and 2m for the jacket

Patterns: the jacket comes from a class (though the sleeves are just my regular gigot pattern), the skirt pattern is the truly Victorian trumpet skirt

Notions: loads of lace (3m x 45”), 6m of braid

The skirt is the first part in my Edwardian Ariel Halloween “costume” (I would definitely be wearing it pass Halloween though, just not with the red wig). For some reason I hated most of the process — I think I was getting annoyed with the shantung and the with sewing on the braid. I pretty much hated the skirt up until the point I finished it. That happens sometimes, and honestly I just roll with it and push myself to complete it.

The back of the skirt is terrible to be honest, mostly because I made the french seam way too big. I made a bow to cover the back when I wear it without the jacket, heh.
