Well, I just made up the muslin "practice skirt," and... um... I think it will be ok, I wasn't in love with the muslin skirt, but then again, I basically just threw it together. I didn't press the pleats all the way down which made it really pouffy. So I'm hoping that when I get the wool and press the pleats all the way down it will lay a little bit better. Anyone have experience with working with a muslin first and liking the real version better? I could use the encouragement
