Sewing Pattern for 1898 Victorian Flared Skirt Truly Victorian TV297 new uncut

Description

This
skirt is drafted based on a drafting method taken from a
turn-of-the-century tailoring guide. The front panel extends the full
length of the skirt, while the sides and back are cut with a fitted
upper section and a tapered flare to add fullness at the hem. It has box
pleats on either side of the center back closure. An optional kick
pleat can be added to the front seams at the hem. This style of skirt
was extremely popular from 1898-1903, and can be used for both day and
evening wear.
