Can you send a link so I can see the costume? Sounds like what I'm doing and
it might help me.

Hi Regina,
The gold guards were sewn directly onto the skirt fabric before piecing
the
skirt together. The skirt has a total of 16 gores on it which I carefully
measured the length on before cutting so all I would have to do was turn
the
edge under to hem. After that I mapped out the gold pieces and cut those
out; I had to paint all of the red swirls on them which was crazy time
consuming so in ordre to paint only what was going to be used I really had
to measure carefully. After piecing all the gold onto the velvet and
making
sure all the guards lined up I then sewed the 16 gores together and roll
pleasted it to the waistband.
The reasoning I had behind sewing the guards on before sewing the gores
together was I wanted to skirt to fall in those tubular shapes seen in
many
of Cranach's paintings. I figured if there was a seam at each gore it
would
encourage the fabric to fold in a little bit and fall the way I wanted it
to. I think it worked out pretty well. :)

Elizabeta,
How did you do the horizontal "stripes" on the skirt? Did you sew them
straight onto the skirt fabric and then adjust the skirt from the
waistband,
or apply them after you had the skirt hemmed?
