Preparations for DragonCon 2011

I wore this lil puppy at DragonCon two years ago, and it turned some heads, so this year I plan on wearing it again, but spent most of yesterday tweeking it to make it better.

I sewed an interlining of crinkly organza into the skirt to help stiffen in, and then trussed it up from the inside, tacking it in about 20 places. Poofy enough now?

I also ended up starching up the petticoat and ironing it for hours.
