Here's the finished partlet. You can see where the tension got wonky. It looks worse in the photo than it really is because the mannequin isn't shaped like a corseted body. The lines should lay straighter when it's on and pinned to the corset in back.
Today's goal was to get the skirt attached to the bodice & get the hemming done. I put a 2.5" canvas guard around the bottom to protect the velvet from abrasion & because the period examples I've studied seem to do that consistently. This photo is where the train turns so there's a curve to ease in.
