Like the blouse pattern (4091), this skirt is wonderfully simple to put together and accurately sized. I was on a very tight deadline to get this done. I chose this pattern hoping it would be quick. Imagine how happy I was to find out that it is fairly historically accurate as well. My main concern was that I would need to figure out how to substitute a period closure where the zipper would be. It turned out not to be a problem since there is no zipper. The pattern calls for a placket with a hook and eye closure. I didn’t waste any precious sewing time on a ‘zipper issue’.

This skirt was the perfect base for my 1910 Wings of the Dove dress (the design copied from the film). I used the Underskirt pattern as is and redrafted the skirt pattern to create a wrap skirt effect. I copied the pleating from the original dress. The pattern pieces were very simple and fit well. I didn’t use the sewing instructions so I can’t comment on them, but the fact that the pattern went together easily speaks well of the pattern design.

I decided to make a skirt to go with an Edwardian blouse and hat I already owned. I am happy how it turned out. I made most of it in one night. I had to run back to the store because I had forgotten to buy lining fabric and fusible interfacing. I thought the skirt was quite easy to put together. I was very surprised how easy it was and how nicely it turned out. I am not the best seamstress by any means. Without distractions, it wasn’t that hard. I did the hemming and embellishments while watching a movie.
