I noticed that there was some definite hoop showage through my skirt, so I thought and thought, and then went to the fabric store to buy some tulle. This is what I did with it:
The tulle overskirt by itself seemed to help quite a lot, and then the little ruffle (which I know was badly sown on!) also helped smooth out the line of the dress. Finally, I made this overskirt (which I have yet to hem; need some help on that) with a doubled layered front panel to wear either as a layer to keep the farthingale hoops from showing, or as an underskirt with an overdress.
The jury is still out as to whether I will wear my corset or the overdress—transportation issues do come into play here as the faire is much farther away from home that Four Winds Canterbury Faire. Also, finish-fiddling-with-the-corset issues are under consideration!
I finished the beading on my dress—I did bead down the panel down the front and really liked how it looked. It’s very subtle, but I think adds a nice touch! In other crafting news, I have been working on finishing that filet lace panel, and did some work on a pair of socks. I’m trying to stave off the itch to cast on three new projects at once…maybe just one will be okay?
