Back to work

Here's the thing. When I'm working with taffeta lined whatever (faille alternative not yet identified), I'm going to have to work a little harder to figure out how to work 44" (or more likely 54") material down into a 6-1/2" quarter of waist. With this muslin, I just worked my way over with deep pleats from CB to the side seam and then realized I had more than enough to go right back to the back.

The other thing is eventually I'm going to have to work in a different room too. This is only one side of the train and the front part of the skirt looks like it will be almost as wide as it is tall.
