Making a Trained Victorian Overskirt & Bustle Ruffle

Today as the Cicada Gown project winds closer to its close, I delve into creating a new trained overskirt to wear with the ball gown version of the costume. Modifying another Truly Victorian pattern to create a big train, with many opportunities for future bustling, and trying to create a new bustle pad ruffle to exaggerate the shape even further, its all fun with silly skirtings this week. Yes it's the Halloween that never ends, or at least...not until I finish hand beading the bodice to show you soon!
