@blogdiva I'm told I also look like my grandmother. 😄
The orange tie is indeed for the petticoat, it's not the correct shape at all for the blouse and jacket but I'm only fitting the top so I don't feel like changing!
The skirt/petticoat is made from a fairly old duvet cover of unknown providence, it's an extremely high quality, dense and heavy cotton, I wouldn't even know what to call it. The whole thing is just pleated onto waistbands. It makes a very good house skirt.

And thank you! I've made a billion of these linen shirts or blouses this year, and trying different things. 😄
The back is princess seams, and the only vertical seams there are. I think the shape of the side back is slightly off, and the upper back a bit too long, but I'm willing to mess with it until it's right. 🤔 The fabric is also a flimsy old bedsheet!
