I had lots of fun making a petticoat. After I discovered how to do that, I realised I had some leftovers of organza I used as an outer layer for the skirt of my dress... And it was just perfect, using all that was laying useless in my wardrobe and at the same time making something I wanted to have instead of trying to buy it.
I wanted my petticoat to fit my dresses that mostly end just above my knees, so it’s shorter than original 50s petticoats. The bottom tier is 6m long, the middle one 2m, and the last one just fits the measurements of the lining (about 1,2m). I made three layers, because I wanted the petticoat to be volumeous, but at the same time soft and fluffy. And fluffy it is :)
It was also the first time ever I’ve made a button hole, after having discovered how to do that with my sewing machne.
