I actually don’t have the exact yardage for the panels. I can tell you, though, that I used about 10 yards of 54″ silk taffeta for the full ruched skirt (back panels, ruffles, front ruched apron panels and lower ruffle) as well as an evening bodice (with ruched yoke) and day bodice with long sleeves. So, maybe, about 7 yards for the whole skirt???

And thank you for continuing to follow me. It’s a joy to hear my work has benefited so many. <3

Yes: the ruched silk is mounted onto an organdy base then the whole of that is mounted to the cotton twill underskirt base. The box pleated ruffle is then sewn over the bottom of the apron directly to the underskirt.
