Fichu or no for Costume Con?

[madamemodiste]

So I've been driving myself insane this evening (instead of doing my British lit homework) trying to figure out how to make the right kind of fichu for my polonaise. Is anyone else wearing a fichu? If so, do I just make a triangle if it's going to get tucked into the neckline?

I added additional yardage to my overskirt so it'll be nice and poufy, and then got too intimidated to start the pleating. I'm a little confused about how to handle the pointed part in the center back of the bodice. I'm hoping that when I get to it, it'll make sense. If anyone has advice for a visual learner, feel free to share :D

By the way, am I supposed to get anything in the mail from the Costume Con people once they are paid?

OK, ok...off to read tomorrow's assignment

OK. They just look so cute! I saw an online pattern that was 56" on the long side and 30" on each matching side of the triangle. I think she said to use tucks to shape it around the neck - is that right or do you actually cut yours with a curve?

This is so bad. I have no interest in doing homework. All I want to do is sew! But I have two papers and a big exam coming up. One of them is on The Importance of Being Ernest, which should be fun to write.
