The following directions made this overskirt quite simple to create: decide BEFORE you sew up the back of the Overskirt how it’s going to be decorated. Because the skirt folds over itself, you may prefer to have your trim sewn inside the seam rather than applying your trim on top, so that it looks good on both sides. This gives quite a stunning effect. Also, as the back of this overskirt falls quite low, you may want to keep this in mind and shorten the pattern before you cut. There aren’t give clear instructions on how to accomplish this. We took the Overskirt up from the “tip”. This worked well.

This is one of those very easy Truly Victorian patterns, and I’m not a very experienced sewer. Made in dark brown silk dupioni and flat lined with black cotton broadcloth, this overskirt was very easy to make and it drapes beautifully. It is shown here over Truly Victorian TV261 1885 Four-Gore Underskirt with three rows of pleats.
