1870's Underskirt by Truly Victorian
This skirt is drafted based on a tailoring method actually used in the 1870's. It is
designed to be worn with an overskirt or polonaise, and petticoat TV101. The full skirt is flat in
front with gathers or pleats in back, with the extra fullness shifted to the back. It has
the traditional five gores and a full width in back. The placket is in the left side back
seam. A pocket is in the right side seam. An optional 12" ruffle can be added to the
hem.This skirt is sitable for just about everything. It can be left plain for day wear,
or elaborately trimmed for evening. Mix and match overskirts for different looks. This
pattern also can be used for petticoats.
This is a heavy paper pattern with 7 pieces. The instructions seem easy to follow, and
are lightly illustrated. There is also a page of trim suggestions.
This is a multi-sized pattern which includes waist sizes 20-40 and hip sizes 29.5-50
in one package. Please see size chart in back cover photo at left.
