I’ve made two skirts from this pattern so far (and plan to make more) and it’s absolutely the most charming and practical cut of skirt I’ve found so far. The hips are nicely shaped and the graceful flare of the gored style is very charming. The addition of the faced and stiffened hem means that this skirt always falls nicely and has wonderful movement. I’ve made this skirt in both a heavy, thick linen and a thin, flowing satin and both looked equally charming. Definitely a favorite for my period wardrobe!

I’ve made a modernized version of this skirt by making it midi length and I love it so much. This is going straight to my daily wardrobe. Instruction are super easy to follow, this was a charm to sew. I plan to do another one in a beautiful navy wool for autumn and winter weather, and will certainly do a full length one for Christmas. I am still a beginner at sewing and it was my first time using a Truly Victorian pattern, but certainly not the last!

This is a fantastic pattern and the instructions would be easy to follow if I were new to sewing! I’ve made ten of these skirts, six of them being modified and they’ve all been beautiful! I love how they’ve all been easy to make and look great on every size! Making a skirt bigger than what this pattern allows was even easy to figure out. The paper pattern also allows me to just fold it to the size that I need that way I don’t have to buy a bunch of them! Will definitely be buying more patterns from Truly Victorian!

I’ve made two of these, one in wool and one in cotton. I absolutely love them, they are so comfortable and adaptable for corseted and uncorseted wear. Easy to make pattern and generally a delightful wardrobe staple

Obsessed with this pattern. It’s perfect for a beginner… making up is very easy and produces a consistently beautiful result. I’ve made two and plan to do at least a couple more. It’s extremely adaptable, especially to modernization – I don’t like my skirts full-length, and shortening to the ankle doesn’t ruin the shape and sway of the skirt at all. It also lends itself well to a wide range of fabrics. I made a light unlined linen version and wore it for a 15 hour travel day (by accident) and it was as comfortable as any pair of leggings. I basically want to wear it every day. There is no better skirt pattern out there!
