Actually, this is for a competition piece, so the judges ARE going to be looking at it.
Do you mean, that each skirt panel is hand-overcasted separately? Because I"m not sure that makes sense--I was expecting, that after the seam was in, either #1) the raw seam edges were overcast together, #2) they were ironed to one side and flat-felled (by hand), or #3) the seam was ironed open, but then the raw edges were hand-tacked onto the lining. I am very willing to sit and do hand-hemmming and hand overcasting if needed. It's actually relaxing. I'm thrilled becasue I completed my hoops today even the hooks and loops, and they look great over the corset!!!And the bodice fits right, so only have to do the buttonholes. Now I"m working up hte skirt panels and getting ready to pleat the thing.
