I have several problems with this pattern. Overall, this company provides minimal instructions, and this pattern is no exception; although it is a simple enough pattern to follow. Either a piece is missing from the pattern, or I just had the bad luck to get an incomplete one; however, given the simple nature of the pieces’ cut I could improvise a replacement. The tucked petticoat is gored, which makes sewing the tucks more difficult, and is, I believe, an inauthentic cut for the era of corded petticoats. (I admit it; I prefer authenticity.) The corded petticoat pattern instructions direct you to sew the cords in before sewing up the side seam, which leads to the dreaded inward dent at the seam where the cords are caught, plus it’s murder on your sewing machine and impossible to hand sew.
