Now that's done--
I love gothy/victoriany/gypsy/ circus /train conductor type clothing.
Bustle skirts fit into that love soooooo... I did some research and found an easy to follow tutorial from Corrine at Craftovision. After watching it, I decided yes-YES it was indeed something I needed to try.
I had a pretty fabric shower curtain I wasn't using but couldn't bear to throw away, so I washed it really well and then... bustle skirt!
I do not follow directions or patterns very well. I like to look at an idea and then jump in and try to do it. When it goes wrong, as it inevitably does, I love trouble shooting. The end result is similar to a pattern or tutorial but definitely mine. Usually in a good way. Mostly.
So far I have two layers and I added some tulle between the two layers to give it some extra pouf. The tulle was left over from a tutu I made last year. I cut way more tulle than I needed and I ended up setting it it aside because I knew it would come in handy someday. See? I was right!
I think I am going to add one more small layer on the top and then maybe a long droopy layer underneath and some more lace and maybe some flower pins or dangly pretty things... and...
We will see...
