I finished my hoopskirt! It actually turned out to be a super easy project. I don't know why I haven't made more hoops in the past! (cage crinolines aside, of course) I'm hoping to be able to try everything on tomorrow, since I'd rather try it on before I put the waist hooks/bars in, and I also still have the one button to repaint on the boots. And have to figure out the reticule/purse/pocket option.



I was also gifted an (I think) early 1890s silk suit by one of my classmates today, since it was given to her and she didn't know what to do with it. It's relatively plain, but has some really interesting features (like pockets!). I'll hopefully get some pictures of it this weekend to share with you all.

Your hoop looks great!! Whenever I finish a new petticoat, I wonder why I dragged my feet so much because it really wasn't bad at all. I totally hear ya!

Thanks! It's also always nice knowing that no one is going to see your petticoats, so it doesn't matter if they're perfect. ;)

Glad to hear remaking your hoop went so well. It looks great! A hoop is my next project. :)
