free spirit petticoat
i was inspired by a vintage petticoat i found at a charity shop in london. (if you want to take a peek at it, im actually wearing the original in the woodland hoodlet photo shoot.)
i used rowan revive which is made of recycled clothing! i loved the meshy feel and knitted it on large needles so it has lots of swing and a nice loose drape.
the ruffles are knitted separately and then whipstitched on. it works great as a swimsuit cover-up too!
ps. a few people were wondering about shaping.. i opted for a straight back. it isnt really supposed to wrap completely around you like a coat…. it kind of just dusts your back and sides for a bit of added flounce and flair! ♥
ps. the petticoat can be worn with or without antlers.
