Japonesque Polonaise

I made this with the Truly Victorian Polonaise pattern and after sizing it according to directions, I may have to move the frog closures over and create a third dart on both sides. I still have to attach the back of the bustle to the underskirt with big hooks. The interlining while helping to hold the shape, did indeed make it very hot to wear.

I like the way it looks and it is nice to ba able to step into it. I may make another one in a lighter fabric in the spring of this year.
