The *easiest* adjustable skirt (18th century style ✨)

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!
After the cliff hanger in the previous video, here is the conclusion to this project. I set out to make two historically inspired skirts, where they main goals were to use fabrics from my stash, and make adjustable skirts that had historical silhouettes that I could comfortably wear for every day life. My body fluctuates a lot, even within the same day, so I wanted some more garments that could accompany its changes. I always think clothes should fit us, never the way around!
The first project covered a 1900s skirt, much mure autumnal tones and dark academia vibes, and you can find it here: • Can Historical Skirts ... For this project, I used three meters of mustard yellow linen, about a meter of linen tape, and under a meter of firmer linen that I used for the hem interfacing (optional for sure!). The skirt is made up of two rectangles, one for the back and one for the front, that are 1.5 meters in width and the desired skirt length in length (mine was around 32'' with a deep hem). Overall, the project, like all 18th century plain petticoats, was very simple and rewarding to put together, since it goes by very quickly but the result is great! There also lots of potential, as you can do tiered skirts, or skirts with trimmings, flounces, etc. The skirt can be gathered instead of pleated if you prefer as well!
I think this sort of style has a lot of styling potentials, from #cottagecore to #piratecore (for that #pirate style).

I have also made 18th century petticoats for everyday wear but instead of adding pockets i wear shorts with pockets underneath, which also solves the chaffing problem

I have hardwood floors and just realized watching you be able to pin into your carpet that that was actually a pretty useful way of securing your fabric while you're cutting it! Lol

I flew transatlantic in one of my "everyday 18th century skirts" and honestly it was a fabulous decision. So easy to adjust during the day as gravity and bloat affected me! The next one I make will have 10cm elastic across the front and an apron tie at the back. But I am entirely inspired by your beautiful pleating to have MOAR VOLUME generally. Also thank you for the detailed discussion of how you applied the pocket.

beautiful skirt, cat!! i've been hand sewing (because i don't own a machine) a cotton flannel 18th century split skirt as a pandemic project that's now still in progress because all of our social lives started opening back up. i'm not planning to wear a corset with it every time, and i found that twill tape--at least the twill tape i have--is too weak to hold up the skirt without sagging. so i'm going to add ban-roll and front- and back-waistbands that still tie front and back, and i'm going to sew my ginormous 18th century self-fabric pockets to the back waist so that they're permanently attached and the front of the skirt is sure to cover them. at least, that's the hope. :)

You should check out the Coquelicot Skirt by wildflower designs. It’s exactly what you are working on in the video but she has a brilliant solution for the pockets. I’ve made it multiple times and it’s a fabulous pattern.

It would look good with what I think is called a whisket blouse. I tried googling it and couldn't find it. They were popular in the 80s but wouldn't look to out of style now. I tried looking up 80s blouses and all the blouses were all bit extreme and very dated. Anyway, it's a woman's blouse that buttons up and is fitted a bit at the waist and flairs a bit at the bottom and isn't tucked in. It's different than a peplum as there isn't a separate piece at the bottom. I guess they had princess seams. They were usually white, cream, or small florals. They usually had a little lace trim. I feel like they had a fairly classic look to them and would fit with history bounding.

Fantastic! I am keenly interested as I acquired a GLORIOUS burgundy silk satin heavily quilted small blanket. It has this most wonderful scalloped edge and I keep thinking I need to make myself a quilted petticoat out of it. That pumpkin/persimmon linen is so lovely on you. Thank you for sharing! ❤

I really like the volume and size of the pleats on your skirt. Could you tell us the ratio of the length of fabric to the finished waist measurement? I'm fairly certain I have a larger waist size than you but would love to get the same volume and flounce. It turned out so lovely.

I've been contemplating making a petticoat like this, as I am absolute garbage at sewing bias cut seams! I like what you did with the pleating, to make it a little modern. I struggle with levelling hems, and don't have a dress form. Any suggestions? Thanks Cat!
@CatsCostumery
@CatsCostumery 4 месяца назад
Hemming is so hard! Before I had a dressform, I asked someone to help me and to add a pin at the front, side and back, then I’d measure down from the top waistband and pin and baste into place - check and then sew if ok, hope this helps ☺️

I saw a trick where you tie a string between 2 chairs at the height you want the hem, then coat the string in chalk. Put on the garment, and brush it along the string to give you a hem guide. Works well for knee length and longer hems.

I think it looks great as is! The side splits in pleated petticoats has always reminded me of hakama (pleated skirts/trousers worn over kimono), which gave me a flash of inspiration. When you put on a kimono slip, you tie a cord to keep it closed before adding a wider sash called a datejime (dah-teh-jee-meh) for structure. My idea is that if you take a long belt tie (e.g. for a dress) or just a long strip of muslin, and wrap it over the cord like a datejime, it should add some soft, adjustable structure under the skirt's waistline. If it's a pretty fabric, you could even have it peak over the top like a decorative datejime. However, this does come with the risk of historybounding Victorian-era Orientalism 😅
