I have to admit, I got the clef fabric maybe few years ago and had a jsk from it in mind. I just had some other project on the way. After those I dind't have any motivation to do this. Past weekend I finally got some as I knew this would have tatting in it and got it (almost) finished.
I used the same pattern as in the gingham jsk. I did the same mistake like in the last time and bodices neckline falls too low. I left it as it were in the pattern and had in mind to use some lace to make it "higher", but as the lace is a bit scratchy due to shiny polyester in it that wouldn't be a good idea.
The laces are handmade by tatting. On the edge it's simple one shuttle lace and the front ones are simple two shuttle laces. I had to sew it to bodice by hand.
The base of the jsk is finished. I have some satin ribbon for the back but it's a bit too dark. Waist ties are on their way, but I kinda lost my motivation. Maybe in the next few weeks I get them done.
Overall I'm happy with this. It's almost like I had in mind.
