(3 customer reviews)

Price range: $13.00 through $19.50

This skirt is drafted based on a tailoring method actually used in the 1880’s. It can be made flat in back, to be worn with an either with an overskirt or polonaise, or with the back bouffant and the front decorated. The skirt is flat in front with gathers or pleats in back, with the extra fullness shifted to the back. It has the three front gores and full width in back that were popular at that time. The placket is in the left side back seam. An optional 6″ ruffle can be added to the hem.

This skirt is suitable for just about everything during the period of 1883-1889. 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.

  1. Christa L Hoffman –

    My favorite skirt pattern. I can make it in just a few hours. Assuming that I didn’t sew something on backwards. I have 19 skirts with this pattern either bustled and not.

  2. Karen Watts –

    This is my “go to” underskirt pattern. I have used it with an overskirt and I have used it alone with trim. This pattern is VERY easy to figure out and looks AMAZING!!

  3. Lynn (verified owner) –

    Love this underskirt! Not that hard to make even when you are a beginner.
    The skirts look amazing on its own.
