I liked yours so much it hi-jacked my current sewing. I cut it out to the pattern because it claimed to have 27" waist, and my corseted waist is 26"-27" so it sounded perfect. Either I somehow let the waist stretch abominably between cutting and stay-stitching, or the pleat markings are completely wrong, or the measurements on the pattern are wrong because I had something like a 32" waist after pinning the marked pleats. I just wound up taking up all the excess in the back pleats, but I wondered how you had fared. Thank you so much for sharing the pattern.

Did you finish your hem with crinoline or any kind of stiffening?
