After I made the three tiers and hemmed and added lace to the bottom (yes, I had not yet gathered or stitched the tiers together) I realized that I should have gone with my initial estimate of 15+ yards of lace, since I wanted to add extra on each tier. Then I decided that it really would have been over-kill on the lace anyways. My mom gathered one tier and then I finally finished the last one. I double-stitched the gathers. I had second thoughts afterwards - was it too pink? too bright? but I figured we could add a lacy overskirt or just pass it on and try something else.
