Sacque part 3
I put the sleeves on today and made a compere stomacher. I'm at a point where I need to make some decisions. I only have 3 yards left of the main fabric, which is not enough to do a matching petticoat and any self-fabric trimming, including sleeve ruffles. I could possibly do a panel in front and different-fabric backs, but I would want to math that out first before I start.
Other options: complimentary petticoat in matching colour, complimentary trimming fabric. I need to look at extants again for a good idea what would be plausible. I think the mismatched petticoat is the best option, just need to suss it out.
I tried it on this afternoon and felt so very floofy. A little disappointed that I don't get the oomph above my neckline though, but it also doesn't really happen in those stays. I should try it with the other set. I also think I added too much to the waist edge, I get a tuck in the skirt where it's trying to reach over the hoops. It won't really be noticable though, once all the fluffery is on..
