Deprivation
I didn't go to bed until after 1 am last night and this morning was difficult.

The skirt is done. Mostly. I am getting confused around the zipper, which is supposed to go through both layers of the skirt, which implies both layers are attached, which kind of makes a mess of things once you start yanking on drawstrings. Maybe my zipper is too long (it was originally intended to go from underbust to hip). I might just sew the underskirt to it for a few inches and then just leave it. It's all nice and neat on the front though. I was really really careful whenever I had to remove stitches because taffeta is not very forgiving of needle punctures, and then I stabbed right through the front of one of the channels while threading the ribbon and put a hole in it. D'oh.

I hemmed a lot of ruffle. I cheated and used stitch witchery.

My petticoat is too long. When I said "it fits" apparently what I meant was "it does not make me look like a six year old playing dress-up in mom's clothing". I may just have to remove the bottom ruffle for now, and trim the crinoline and lining. Or just hike it up to my arm pits and lace it up tight in the corset for tomorrow! I like that plan better.

Tiggy goes to the vet for check-up after work, and then I finish skirt and style the wig I want to wear. There won't be time for a nap AND getting my hair all fancy tomorrow night, and a nap is requisite for continued functioning.
