Let's Make a Corded Petticoat for ULTIMATE 1830's Floof!

Learn how to make a corded petticoat to keep your 1830s (and '40s and '50s) gowns niiiiice and floofy! Starched, corded petticoats were the precursor to the cage crinlione, and they were essential to maintaining the bell-shaped skirts that were fashionable from the Romantic era all the way through the Mid-Victorian period. These petticoats were corded and then starched to achieve ~ultimate stiffness~! This project may not be for the faint of heart--in fact, I'd say you have to be a particular sort of person to enjoy hours of pintuck marking, sewing, and stuffing--but the results are amazing, and well worth the effort!
