Today I started on a tucked petticoat... 3.5 panels of 36" wide muslin (122" when seam allowances are taken into account). I made it long enough that I could put seven 1/2" tucks into it. I have it hemmed, all the tucks added... and it only took me 3-4 hours! (I kept taking breaks so I don't know exactly how long I worked on it). All I need to do now is make a hoopskirt, and I can measure it on the front, sides, and back, and trim the top off the petticoat to make it the proper length, and gather it onto a waistband.
Tomorrow... I'll work on either the dress (I'm done with the sleeves and need to do the bodice), or on the chemise/drawers.
