I started this petticoat sometime in 2013 and it's been on The Pile ever since.
I had thought I might cut it up to use the fabric for something else, even though I was unlikely to have a use for washed dupioni, but then I realized I could put it on Mr. Fibreglass! So I dug it out and took it to my alterations job to work on during slow days, and yesterday I finally finished it!
I had barely started sewing it up back in 2013, and the thread didn't match and the seam allowances weren't finished, so I picked apart what I'd done and serged the edges on the industrial at work.
I vaguely remember getting the silk dupioni on clearance sale, and it must have been pretty darn cheap because there's about 4 metres of fabric in this thing. I forgot to measure it and count the scallops, but however many scallops there are it's a few too many and they took quite a long time to sew. I don't know why I thought that many opposing curves was a good idea, but they do look nice!
It's mostly machine sewn, aside from the waistband finishing and the ends of the ties. He could definitely use another petticoat or two under there to give it more floof and show off the scallops better, but that's not a priority at all, especially since he lives in a somewhat cluttered corner. (Clutter removed for these photos but it's back there now.)
Now that there's a bit of colour in Mr. Fibreglass's outfit, he reminds me of @breebird33's work.
