Hi,
This has ben my dream to make for many many years, it is so lovely.
By the way, this portrait is one of the reasons that i keep on saying that
cartridge pleating was used in 18th century, even though the 18th century
womens list has disagreed.
They claim it never was used, but how would you pleat this skirt otherwise?

Well, that has been the hardest part. I want to do a white-ish color
white, cream, chanpagne, etc.) but my accent color is a deep purple-blue.
I originally intended to make it white with the blue accents but the
contrast is so big! I am still trying to figure out how to do it.
I am very inspired by this painting:

But I also like the split-skirt style like the garment just posted.
Sigh....so many ideas and I only get to choose one!
