Finished figuring out the measurements for the alligator skirt, drafted a muslin and pinned it, tried it on...had to add .5" to one measurement and some length to the back section, but I *have* figured out how much fabric I need for it. (40" long and 54" wide, which is nice.)
I still need to finish sorting out the jacket; I've made progress on the body, but haven't touched the sleeves yet. I have the first pattern cut apart and I am taking the advice of doing the second draft on a heavier fabric similar to what the actual material will be like. I'm fairly certain it'll be less than a yard, but I'd rather be safe than sorry - especially with how much material the pleats might eat up. I need to get this sorted out pretty much tomorrow, 'cause I need to buy the fabric Tuesday if I want any hope of finishing the outfit in time for the next Dorian's. (Which I'd *really* like to manage)
