So what should I do in regard to the flower girl baskets?? Should I leave them without the satin or does anyone know how to fix the stuff inside the basket down???

Here is what their dresses look like if that helps any...

Theres so much I want to say. First GREAT JOB!!!, Awesome, really and thanks for posting. second, I almost bought the same dresses (different color sash tho). Now to the baskets, I am no pro but I feel your pain with the satin. I tried so hard to find a way to get it to lay nicely inside. but I didn't have a big roll as I have said. Did you try starting from the inside, like laying the satin inside and then overlapping outside and gluing it at bottom on outside and glue it at several points between? does this make sense? or, if it doesn't lay so nice on the inside, glue it kinda overlapping, you know? like fold the satin maybe? I havent done this but I was playing around with it, maybe you can do it?
Did you get that basket at michaels? I was wondering if mine was too small, but the woman there said thats what they use. your basket 'cup' looks bigger... OH NO hope mine is not too small!!!
question, was that just wire and you glued all the flowers to it? I was thinking same thing with ribbon! really cute.
Oh and love your model!!
