Last year I made a 1910s skirt using the pattern from Truly Victorian. As it was from 1911,mit was quite similar to another teens skirt I’d made the previous year, though it did turn out to be a little trickier. At first I wasn’t pleased with the results, though I know myself well, and am pretty sure it has more to do with my hasty methods than with the pattern itself. The thing which is the most troublesome to me is the front-side closure, which bulges a bit (but hopefully won’t when worn work a corset — which will be finished soon!).
The other day, however, my sister and I went to a park near her house to revel in the glorious autumn weather, and it turned into an impromptu photo shoot. I realise that I have never written a post about this skirt, though I do wear it often (its wonderfully comfortable). So here you are!
Autumn colours are my favourite to wear — could you tell?
Wearing a lovely knitted hat made by my friend Stacy.
Climbing trees in a narrow 1910s skirt is so easy! ;)
I wore my lovely American Duchess Oxfords as well!
Impressive, magazine-quality pictures. The skirt is very attractive and seems to fall well. The setting is rather breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteLove that skirt! The plaid is divine, of course! Now all you need in that tree is a Temple Bailey book! ;-)
