1840's Petticoat

I have fabric I want to make into an 1840's dress so I decided I needed a couple more petticoats. And then I got the brilliant idea that a faux horsehair petticoat was in order. (Take the word "brilliant" with a grain of salt.) So I made a petticoat out of hard-finish organdy. It was a bear. Normally I don't mind doing tucks, but with this fabric, it was a battle. I seriously considered quitting at five, but it didn't look right so I finished all seven. And this afternoon I realized that I'm not sure I've seen horsehair petticoats with tucks - there might be a reason for that. But now it's done, and I can do something more enjoyable.

It's got plenty of body, but I have yet to see how it does under a dress.
