The project is done, but you all will just have to wait to see it. For now, I'm gonna give you little snippets of it so I can make my posts more detailed!
And now back to the project: After a little bit of tweaking, I got the modesty panel to be just right... I had a really hard time getting the pretend chiffon to work properly... or how I wanted. I had to manually pin each gather where they were supposed to be, instead of the usual, gathering-thread-then-sew method. It was kind of a pain, but I managed.
It is lined with the same hospital sheets I used for my Regency petticoat. It was finished with a chiffon edge.

| Panel, not yet attached. |
In attempts to make sure the panel was the right shape and fit, I got a little creative.

I don't think I've looked that attractive
in a long time... |
 |
| Idk. |
 |
| yeahhhhh.... |
Well, maybe I got
a lot creative. It seemed to look okay though....
So, with the panel now done, I inserted it after the sleeves in; and here's what it looked like:

| On my clone. |
Isn't the turquoise-blue gorgeous????
 |
| On me and my late 1860's corset XD |
I don't have a 1910's corset yet, so I'm improving with the one I do have. Since this is only for the top of the gown, I figured there wouldn't be much of a difference in size or shape.
Next step....TUCKING!
