This one is for a sweet little 1 year old to be worn on her first b'day! - Custom Order and am so happy with the end result.
To ensure it is comfortable for the little one and make it easy to put it on and take it off, have added a back slit with loop tie closure.
Poofy pettiskirt gobbled up 7 metres of fabric! (It's height is mere 9 inches!) Satin waistband tier, followed by 2 tiers of purple ruffles and the bottom tier has the pink ruffle fluff to make it even more fluffier, what's more this is not in just one layer but has layers, to add more volume and though the pettiskirts are not normally lined, wanted to ensure the net fabric did not irritate the child's skin, hence has been fully underlined lined with satin fabric.
Back view of the skirt
The client had requested for additional 3 flowers made of ruffles to add to any other knit fabric top / t-shirt which she intended to buy with a cup cake motif printed on it. I hope the need doesn't arise with the sewn top itself matching the skirt to the T and the hope the applique is up to her satisfaction! what's your say?!
Technical specifications!
Size : Fits 20 inch chest and 20-24 inches waist
Price: Rs,1600 (Pettiskirt & Top )
Actually i had quoted much less price to the customer, and only after finished the outfit, did i realize the amount of time and effort went into making the skirt; but since i had given my word , i stuck to it and am giving it away to already quoted price to the customer . But for future pettiskirts, now i know how much to price them!
