Well, the knickers mock-up went really well. And I made a few minor changes to the pattern before cutting out my satin. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the cotton I was using for the mock-up had a lot of stretch in the crosswise grain. Boo. This has resulted in my satin knickers being a smidge too small in the waist, even after letting out the seams. Technically they still fit, but I think they'd hang better if they were just that tiny bit bigger. I put a continuous placket in the left side which was a bit of a hassle and added more bulk than I might have liked. All that's left is to sew some snaps on the placket and hem the top. I think they look pretty cute. And I really like the fact that they match the slip. Also, after drafting up patterns to my own measurements, I'm going to find it difficult to go back to ordinary patterns. I've never had clothes fit so well with so little effort before!
