I'm trying to figure out how to cut my skirt panels and the front panels. I've never understood how 1700s skirts are cut. Between the angled hem and the pointed bodices, there is NO science to how they are cut. It seems the only way to do it is to overcut and just drape it. And I'm allergic to overcutting! I hate the waste of material! 1860s skirts are so nice and logical.

Pfui!

I guess I'll just have to do it. But I don't have to be happy about it!
