Second fitting was bit of a bummer as my model wasn't feeling well and nearly fainted, which also meant that we couldn't fit nearly any of the costume on her. I'm planning on arranging another time to meet up with her outside of uni and try the bodice on and fit the sleeves. The few things that we did come to a conclusion on is that the skirt looks far to heavy and it shouldn't be mounted on calico, so I'm going to have to take it all apart, remount it on silk organza and then add what's called a hanging skirt, basically a slip attached at the waist band, which will be made of polly cotton. I also need to add a few more bones to the corset and replace a couple that got bent.
