I've made a lot of progress on Taylor P.'s day dress here in the last few days. I cut out the panels and sewed them together. Then I pleated all those masses of fabric (180 inches of it) into a mere 38 inches.

Half of the pleats pinned in.

 |
Pleats from the inside. Marked every inch so I don't lose my place. :)

 |
All the pleats finally sewn in!

Her Ladyship models the skirt that only needs a waistband and hem to be complete!

Close-up of skirt (sans waistband).

I decided to close it with a ribbon tie, rather than hooks and eyes or a button closure.
Tomorrow I'll finish up the waistband, hem it up at the bottom and add the trim!
