Katherine and Kendra, thanks for both of your opinions! I do like the shape of the petticoat — hard to tell in the fabrics picture, but when I floofed it all around, the skirt looked like it will have a really good shape, well-domed, true enough to the period, imo. Which was the whole point of making the petticoat at all.<\/p>\n

So, I think if I have time at the end, I’ll pin a 4th ruffle on the bottom and see how it looks. But I won’t worry about it for now.<\/p>\n

The big deal was that I could get the general size of the skirt set now. This actually leads to another question I have: silk ribbon!<\/p>\n

I need 6 rows of black silk ribbon on the lavender chiffon tiers on my skirt (I believe the ribbon is on the chiffon, not the silk below it; if it was on the silk, the black would look more muted; also, I believe the chiffon is tiered *not* the silk, this will make a big difference overall — but if s’one wants to argue that, let me know).<\/p>\n

So, I’ve found 2 sources for ribbon and there’s a big price difference. I’m pretty broke right now, so this matters. But I’m not sure which would look most right. Opinions please!<\/p>\n

Caveat: yes, I know 1 row is almost rick-racky, but I’m not finding anything like that which doesn’t look dumb, so I think using plain ribbon for all 6 rows will be better. Suggestions welcome, but I’m leaning towards the ribbon…<\/p>\n

I’ll need 22 yards.<\/p>\n

Choices so far:<\/p>\n

M&J Trim silk satin double-faced ribbon 9mm black<\/a>
\n$1.59 \/ yd ($34.98 total) + $4 shipping<\/p>\n

Cam Creations silk embroidery ribbon 7mm black<\/a>
\n$0.60 per yard ($13.20 total)+ $2.95 shipping
\nor
\nCam Creations silk embroidery ribbon 13mm black
\n$0.80 per yard ($17.60 total)+ $2.95 shipping<\/p>\n

Afaik, the silk embroidery ribbon would be thinner and doesn’t have that same finished edge that double-faced satin ribbon does. But then, why should that matter for this trim? And sewing it onto chiffon, lighter-weight might be nicer.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure about the width though — 7mm, 9mm, or 13mm? I think 7 or 9, especially considering there are 6 rows total.<\/p>\n

Man, I feel like have a lot of crap going on in my skirt! Heh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
