HSM #1: Peachy procrastination petticoat

No pictures right now, since my camera is at home. It's just a simple petticoat. I spent about 4 months making it because I wanted it done in September and I only got it wearable this past month. And it could still use a flounce.
The Challenge: Procrastination
Material: peach cotton poplin (that used to be orange)
Pattern: made it up using pictures of 1890s petticoat patterns
Year: 1895
Notions: cotton thread, cotton twill tape
How historically accurate is it? not bad, most cotton petticoats from this era seem to be white or patterned or sateen, while solid coloured ones seem to be silk, but other than that and needing a flounce, all good
Hours to complete: no idea, way more than needed
First worn: not yet, needs the rest of the outfit
Total cost: maybe about $10-$20? I don't really remember how much the fabric cost
Technically, I have two entries for this one because I also started my corset cover and I continue to put off working on it. I made two buttonholes yesterday. And it won't get completely finished until I can get back home, cut a new bias strip, and finish off an armhole.
