So last weekend we made a flying trip to the city for Christmas shopping and the final muslin fitting. I had deliberately made the crinoline a little long so I could adjust it. And yes, it was too long. Mandy and I trimmed a few inches off the bottom and it looked great. She has lost weight - weight she can't afford to lose and the top was a little loose but I won't alter it. She has been working so hard at school that she hasn't been able to eat the way she should and being celiac certainly hasn't helped. She knows she needs to put the pounds back on and I'm sure she will before the wedding. Anyway, here she is in the muslin with crinoline basted in. I also draped and pinned some fabric on the top to give her an idea of ruching fabrics, matte and shiny. You can only see a little fabric peeking out on her right side and I somehow forgot to take a picture of her from the front. We also tried bustling the train to get an idea of how it would look.
