/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

so seeing as my washer overflowed last night and took out most of my day i spent the remainder of it hunting down trimmings for this little project and doing odd bits about the house. i sadly wasnt able to find any trimmings that were an exact match for the image so i figure its probably best to make my own. the body of the garment will be made from an ivory satin fabric because its cheap enough and wearable enough to see if the design needs improving in ways. the trimmings i will be making by gathering satin ribbons myself, using a 7cm one for the leg holes to achieve the curve shown in the image im trying to recreate, and probably a shorter one for the waistband. the waistband trimmings will be stitched between the outer fabric and an elasticated plush waistband, and the leg hole trimmings will be stitched directly to the leg opening. i think the waistband seems sensible enough, but im not quite so sure i like this way of doing the leg trimmings. it would be much easier to have a neater inside if i didnt have to gather and introduce a visual curve to them, or if i had some premade ones i could use, but alas i do not. anyone got any better ideas on this?
