XD I haven't made a lobster tail bustle yet (it's on my to-do list, but I have my eye on the dimity bustle pattern in Fashions of the Gilded Age book 1), so I'm not sure how heavy it gets... <br /><br />Not yet! I've been avoiding sewing lately, which is annoying since I just need to hem it. :D I'm just really tired and don't want to make a mistake, haha. I'm also considering embroidering a monogram on it. :)<br /><br />Have you received anything in the post, by the way? :)Ellie Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10722131162430540162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105617654711788736.post-83500193765831971252018-05-26T17:05:18.838-05:002018-05-26T17:05:18.838-05:00Hmm, might be you are right - I'm working on a...Hmm, might be you are right - I'm working on another petticoat now, a simple one to go under that (and I ran out of fabric just as I was finishing up the bottom ruffles again!), but put together, it gets pretty heavy, so I'm wondering if perhaps the lobster tail bustle would be lighter... Thanks a lot for the link! Tbh for me a project like this is daunting so far, but if it would make the silhouette correct AND make the whole thing easier to wear...<br />Ah, three or four I think. Just can't make up my mind as to whether to buy more eyelet lace, or finish it up with the tulle one. I'll see I guess :-) <br />YAY! How is it progressing now? Done?

Wow, and all that lace and ruffles looks amazing. <3 <br /><br />Hmm, I'm thinking that a tournure/lobster tail bustle would do the trick, and with another, simpler petticoat or two, it should have a really good silhouette. Something like this, maybe: http://historicalsewing.blogspot.co.uk/2008/05/1876-project-undergarments.html<br />How many ruffle rows have you got left to do? :) <br /><br />P.S. My chemise is nearly finished! I just need to do the hem, and hand-sew some more lace. :)Ellie Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10722131162430540162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105617654711788736.post-13262422566787021762018-05-01T05:22:22.470-05:002018-05-01T05:22:22.470-05:00Hello Rosa,
