June 2007

I made another TV216 Parisian trained skirt. This one is made of red and black striped taffeta. At first I wanted to make it all out of the striped taffeta, but that was too much . After searching the internet for ideas, I made the side pannels out of (some left over) black taffeta. I also made another TV410 polonaise, this one of black taffeta. And another Butterick-corset, made of red/black skull brocade.

Patterns used:
