Mantua Progress

The mantua itself is done! I still need to procure something for a belt because I don't want to use self fabric, and I still need to make the petticoat, but the mantua is done. The panels are cut for the petticoat, and I've pinned pieces together for piecing the back. I goofed cutting the mantua and didn't do it the way I planned so I didn't have a solid piece for the back, but I do have enough fabric to make the petticoat solid taffeta, just not one solid piece.

Next up is the petticoat, but petticoats are quick, easy, and simple. I have vague hopes of finishing it before the weekend.

I was going to take pictures last night while I had it on, but I couldn't get anything that looked decent with my phone. It wasn't worth getting the camera out and doing pictures with the timer when I didn't have a petticoat so you'll just have to wait.
