Scary, but it&#8217;s looking good. I debated which part to use for the bodice &#8212; either the choli end, which has a tight repeating pattern, or the end of the sari that hangs over the chest, which has a big wide pattern. Decided to use the choli for the bodice and leave the wide-patterned ends for the pagoda oversleeves. Though I *wish* I could have used that for an extra skirt ruffle, but there just wasn&#8217;t anything leftover from the choli for sleeves.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a bit worried about the skirt. Looks like there isn&#8217;t enough material for the skirt to be big enough for even a modest hoop. And the ruffles may be a bit skimpy. *sigh* Saris are probably better meant for Regency gowns which don&#8217;t eat up yardage. Ah well. I still might split the material lengthwise and make two ruffles. That&#8217;ll balance the wide sleeves better even if the whole skirt isn&#8217;t so full. May need to cut down the sleeves anyway &#8212; gotta mock those up before any more cutting, of course.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1782\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/50.87.248.88\/~trystanc\/costume\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/bastingsari.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1782\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1782\" title=\"Spray-basting the silk onto the inter-lining\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/50.87.248.88\/~trystanc\/costume\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/bastingsari.jpg?resize=400%2C300\" alt=\"Spray-basting the silk onto the inter-lining\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trystancraft.com\/costume\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/bastingsari.jpg?w=400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trystancraft.com\/costume\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/09\/bastingsari.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1782\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spray-basting the silk onto the inter-lining<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Upon various recommendations, I tried a spray adhesive meant for basting quilts. Very cool stuff. I first cut the bodice pieces from the sari, then I spray-basted them to black medium-weight cotton for interlining. Worked great, and made it very easy to treat these two layers as one.<\/p>\n<p>The lining and bodice are ready to be matched up now, but I&#8217;m going out to dinner for my mother-in-law&#8217;s birthday.
