Star Skirt Part One

I was thinking about historical fashions the other day, and in particular, the 18th century dresses that stood out so dramatically at the sides, and the tudor skirts that stood straight out in a circle from the hips. It was with them in mind that I came up with this - and yes, it is literally made of old curtains. I had to make it very stiff, and so - stuffed it with newspaper. God, it's heavy! I call it the star skirt because from the top, it looks like a five-pointed star.
