1875 Natural Form Parisian Trained Victorian Skirt by Truly Victorian
This skirt is drafted based on an actual garment as seen in a photograph taken in 1875, in
Paris. The skirt base is the traditional 5 front gores and full back. The front has two
swags, one high and one low on the skirt. The sides are trimmed with vertical ruches
simulating a separate panel. The back can be made either bouffant or flat, with a very
full train added. The closure is in the left side back seam. an optional pocket is in the
right side seam.The original dress was of a plaid silk, but anything will look nice. An
extra trained petticoat may help to hold the dress to a better shape. This skirt is
suitable for evening parties or weddings.
This is a heavy paper pattern with 10 pieces. The instructions seem easy to follow, and
are well illustrated. There is also a page on trimming 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.
