The Nevers Amalia True cosplay- making a 1890s split skirt

In this video I make a split skirt inspired by The Nevers Amalia True's character in season 1 episode 3. The show is a fantasy mix of historical 1899 and science fiction and the costuming in the show made me want all their clothes! the split skirt or divided skirt basic shape is from a drafting manual from the time the original version can be found here https://archive.org/details/standardworkoncu00gord and if you prefer a paper version a reprint can be found here https://store.doverpublications.com/0486412415.html https://www.doverbooks.co.uk/turn-of-the-century-fashion-patterns-and-tailoring-techniques The pattern is for the style that divides up the middle with buttons in the front fold but I converted mine to front skirt flap style like in the show and this extant garment https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/80096929?rpp=20&pg=1&ao=on&ft=1890&what=Costume%7CWool&img=2 The skirt turned out ok in the end but if I were to remake this pattern ever i will omit that front pleat that was meant for the buttons unless I'm making a skirt in that style because it caused unnecessary bulk at the front and also made it very hard to figure out how to attach the skirt to the waistband so that both sides are equal and it actually is a bit crooked.
