A touch of modern sewing

My sister is getting married in September, and I am a bridesmaid. I am making my own dress, but have been procrastinating on getting started! Tonight I have begun on a petticoat to wear under it, actually a tiered skirt in cheap cotton fabric. It's going to look quite good. The skirt I'm going to make is quite full, so a good full petti will make it look better. Tomorrow afternoon I hope to cut out the toile of the top of my dress, so I can get started. Mumsie gave me the real fabric last weekend, so I really have no excuse! And then when I've finished the dress, I'll be able to do some historical sewing, guilt free.
