This is the one “cheat” for this gown. Someone had given E a prom dress that she didn’t like, so I cut it apart and used the existing petticoats for her dress. This particular picture is the petticoats that are attached to the skirt lining. There is another layer of netting attached to the polyester underlining for the skirt (already in the gown), since we scavenged everything from the thrifted dress except the 3 layers of nylon net that comprised the original fashion fabric.
Perfect thirifting. Very good idea. Saves tulle gathering rage too probably!! 🙂
