The cage crinoline is finished! I need a longer cord for the lacing inside (which is why the sides look a little wonky right now), but this one is all I have at the moment. I took what I had done with the pattern from Jean Hunnisett, and cut off the ends of the top 5 hoops, so that it could lace around the inside of the back, like the TV pattern. The pad is stitched in to the yoke, and there's about a million and a half intersections that I painstakingly stitched together. If you remember, I started this around Christmastime, spent most of January and February not sewing, but I slaved over it all day today (thanks Oscar Sunday!) and it's finally finished.
So here's a few pics!
I'm going to take a quick look at the petticoat that I started nearly two months ago, and then put aside, and see if it will be a quick finish. If not, I'm going to put this whole project on the shelf for a month or two, and move on to my teens stuff, which I have yet to start. I'm still debating about a corset. I'm thinking I might make do with a victorian one, since making a new Edwardian one would require the purchase of a busk, and I don't think I have time to wait for one to arrive. (Unless anyone has any suggestions?) Plus I've been itching to start draping the dress.
