I'm not a regular here, but just wanted to let you know that your corded petticoat is getting some buzz over at the WeSewRetro fb group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/WeSewRetro/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED). Most of the ladies there sew from the first half of the 20th century, but what era doesn't require fabulous undergarments?! Anyways, as a fellow blogger, I know it's fun to see where your posts end up. You do beautiful work (your Lattice Gown is AMAZING!).

Having never used reed, I don't really have the experience to answer your question. You might try overlapping the ends of the reed a bit more for stability, and certainly a fabric skirt would help keep things in place better. I have heard that steaming or wetting reed allows it to relax, and that it will stay in whatever shape you dry it in, so maybe wetting it, forming it into the circles you need, and letting it dry might help too.

Just going on my shoddy memory, I think that two layers of cotton sateen would be appropriate, or any other light-to-medium weight, tightly woven cotton. I don't believe anything as sturdy as twill was used, though I haven't specifically gone back to check. Both sets of corded stays from the 20s-30s that I've made use two layers of cotton sateen, which seems to work well.

I absolutely love circle skirts, but they fall flat without anything under them. Since I live in Texas, this looks like an excellent option! I think I'll be getting some cotton organdy and yarn to make one for myself! I was wondering - do you have any pictures of what a skirt looks like over this? Thank you for the inspiration!
