Though a petticoat can do wonderful things for your figure, it can be most miserable to wear if not designed correctly. Elastic waists create a thick and bulky waistline and allows the petticoat to sag below your skirts. Many are one layer, creating uneven shaping around the body, and that netting next to the skin is itchy and uncomfortable. Not the kind of day I want to have!
- The fitted yoke eliminates all bulk where we don't want it, and creates a smooth line at the waist. No possibility of sagging!
- Two layers of ruffle allow for an even and desirable shape, creating that perfect full "A" line that is comfortable to wear with every-day clothing too.
- First ruffle layer next to the skin is a firm but comfortable fabric.
- The Second outer ruffle should be Nylon Petticoat netting from the bridal section of your fabric store, not costume netting. Quality netting can be washed with no loss of firmness.

So are you ready to get this party started?? Without further ado, Rebekah Rodriguez will lead you through week 1 from the schedule above:
Getting Materials Together:
Cutting Fabric & Selecting Tools
I see I forgot to add fabric prepping the interfacing. Since we are using a cotton woven, just soak it in warm water and use a bit of laundry soap. A small bit. Rinse it out and let it air dry :) This is the best way to preshrink and prep the interfacing before using:)
