It has curved seams and a separate collar. The curves require flat felling. It’s a bit of an effort for a beginner, but go slowly and it should turn out well.

I have made the petticoat twice and have enjoyed using it, and the pattern. The first time I made it from a king bed sheet, and it lasted 15 years. I originally used a drawstring at the waistband, but found it uncomfortable, so I used elastic hand-tacked at the seams and at the casing openings, and then used a hook/eye for a closure. The second one I made from muslin and used the same elastic with hook/eye closure method. This petticoat, made from either the bed sheet or the muslin, is very comfortable in any season of the year and works as perfectly under gauzy broomstick skirts as it does under a heavier-fabric skirt, adding just the right amount of fullness at the bottom.
