18th Century Linen Petticoat

 Another project from the "to do" basket: a basic linen under-petticoat from The American Duchess Guide to 18th Century Dress-Making. Three years later, I finally made a project from the book.

The material is a mid-weight linen from Fabrics Store, with the waistband of 3/4" linen tape (bleached) from Burnley & Trowbridge. The petticoat is entirely hand-sewn, which went a bit quicker than expected. Considering that it languished in the in-progress basket for most of a year, it was a little embarrassing to realize that I could have finished the whole thing in the span of two Christmas movies.
