Mrs. Lovett skirt

's Mrs. Lovett costume so far. I've got a looong way to go, but I have until January, so I think I'll be ok.

It's bargain bin black-red taffeta from Fabric World's bargain bin. I used the Truly Victorian 1870s underskirt with loads of ruffles. Shown with my bustle and two of my elipical peticoats--which sans hoop are reasonably close to the early 70s shape.
