Petticoat with a slight train? Sewing pattern or tutorial?
snuzal Intermediate NEW ZEALAND Member since 7/7/07 Posts: 668	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/29/12 3:01 AM My wedding dress will have a slight train, and I'm having an issue finding a petticoat thats in plus size, with a small amount of fullness as well as a slight train. Does anyone know where I could find a pattern for one, or a tutorial for one? I've seen tutorials for layered petticoats, but I can't quite get into my head how to add on the fullness for the train too. It's just another one thing I don't have time to nut out the logistics of lol ------ Check my blog :) http://snuzalsews.blogspot.com/ Juki Exceed F600, Babylock Imagine, Janome 300E.

Historical reenactment patterns, such those by Laughing Moon Mercantile, can possibly give you direction. Take a special look at pattern #102 (Corset, Cover, Petticoat, Bustle) . The petticoat in this pattern is drafted with no train, a 6" train, and a 12" train. You can add tulle, in ruffled layers, as necessary until the desired fullness is achieved. Also, you may want to look at pattern #112 (Hoops and Bustles). The petticoats in this pattern are much more rigid in structure, but it may possibly give you ideas on bone shaping/usage. Good luck and congratulations. Martha --recently married myself
