Mar 18 11:50-12:30 Divide and conquer! Matched up bottom tier to top tier of skirt without too much headache; turns out I calculated the difference in fullness between the two pretty well-there will be just enough gathering at the top edge of the bottom tier to make things interesting.
Mar 19 12-1 Begin gathering and tacking skirt top and bottom together. Not sure if it made it easier or more difficult, but because of the way I pinned the tiers together, was able to run gathering threads and make a tack stitch about every 3 inches at the same time. Made it about 1/3 the way around
Mar 21 12:30-1:30 Another 1/3 the way around
Mar 22 11:30-12:30 Finished the last 1/3. Will take the dress home this weekend to try with my corset and attempt some in-progress photography. Also need to order brown silk thread for the buttonholes. Had thought to use cotton floss, but decided that it may abrade too easily.
