Hello everyone,
Yes I know. Where have been my posts? Uhh. Well life has been very busy with my newish job. I currently work 2 jobs plus school. Life has just been hectic. To tell you the truth, I have had my petticoat done for a while now. Since middle of May. I just didn't get the hooks on it til last week, I think. It was either last week or the week before.
But it is done. I still need to finish my hoop. Ugh. I really don't want to. But I need to. So I can have something to support my skirts. And after I have this up, I am going online fabric shopping :).
Petticoats are very important to your silouette, they help hide the rungs of your hoopskirt and/or add a little umph to your skirts. More pictures
