Petticoat Junction

As you may remember (if you stalk me compulsively and have a photographic memory) Last summer I found this petticoat hanging on a wall in a bathroom in Seattle.

To be fair, it was a museum/gift shop bathroom, so I think that makes it a little less random. :)

But anyway, I decided to use this as the inspiration for a petticoat of my own.

I found this vintage lace trim on ebay, and found some flowery insertion lace as well.

Again using Truly Victorian TV170 I added these to some organdy to make an early bustle era petticoat. This time I used the option for the tucked flounce, though I added a few more than the pattern to make up for the extra inches I gained by inserting lace.

Because my antique lace was quite a bit off white compared to by pure white new organdy, I also added an ivory waistband to help tie it all together. (Literally, haha.)
