Skirt on the waistband! Can't wait for kiddo to try it on so I can check level and make sure it hangs well without the pillow doing weird things

It's just 3 straight panels of 60" inch wide fabric. The arrangement of box pleats was faaaar trickier than I had anticipated.

Victorian waistbands are surprisingly sloppy by modern standards. The extra fabric is just folded down and hangs inside the skirt, adding bulk for the waist spring.

Trooper as always immediately hides under the hoops. He gets super excited when a hoop skirt is set up. Loves dashing in and out.

And yes, he will play hide and seek under the skirt while it is being worn.

A messy sewing room with a large hoop skirt set up on a dress form. The skirt is the color of red wine and arranged in large box pleats. A black cat is about to dash under the skirt.
Orginal gown that is being copied. It is pink with white lace, and had a wide skirt with a reason. The fitted bodice has lace around a wide, low neck line.

@SewBlue this looks like an excellent reason to start wearing more hoop skirts!

(those pleats give a really good look to the skirt, also!)
