madamemodisteI've been slowly working on a new NF overskirt from the TV 326 Hermione overskirt pattern. I'm doing the panniers and back in black taffeta, and the front apron in that black and red stripe taffeta I got recently. It's turning out cute, and I hope it doesn't make me look huge (and not in the good way).
Here's a sneak peek

Date: 2009-08-12 04:51 pm (UTC)i was hoping actually you could give me some advice based on your knowledge of bustle patterns.
im researching this gown from Dracula - minas green day dress, when she meets dracula in his divine grey suit.( i have a costuming friend who is getting practically a film replica made of that suit, so i promised id get the green suit done so we could parade together at events!)

now im thinking TV463, modified for the bodice
now the skirts...
i know a petticoat is essential -
is the tv101 too much or about right..she does have a distinct poof to the back of her skirt.
the underskirt , i can see is loosely pleated or gathered all the way around. I cant seem to find a suitable skirt pattern for this...
The bustle and waterfall drapery....i guess the waterfall is a seperate attached piece..but i cant seem to work out the gathered parts in the back from the underskirt!
please help me, you are my only hope :D

There was a girl at Costume Con who did this dress, and I took some photos:http://www.flickr.com/photos/14941369@N07/3815393510/in/set-72157617608568431/ I hope that helps a little! I have no idea how to get the waterfall drapery, but go ask on the Belle Alley, and someone will guide you through it!
