Absinthe fairy crinoline cage

Well, Herr Doktor is hard at work on the wings, he assures me they will "flap all day" ! And I've been creating the crinoline cage...
I used the "truly Victorian" 1865 elliptical cage crinoline. Usually I create my own patterns for everything but I wanted to test this out before recommending it to fellow costumers and I have to say it has come out very well with a minimum of puzzlement...

Perhaps not a beginner project but the instructions are fairly straightforward. It does take a lot of bones and tape though so it's quite an expensive thing to make. I've not done the hand sewing of all the tapes yet, saving it for the weekend...
