Thank you! The bow tie was an accessory that I really wanted for this ensemble.

When I made up the skirt, I didn't make it exactly like the pattern. I cut the pieces out to the same shape and measurements as the original, but just pleated it to a waistband that would fit my corseted waist, which is about 25.5". The pleats are really deep, so I think that there is a fair amount of room for playing with them, if you need to give or take a couple inches.
