Edwardian Plaid Walking Skirt with 1.5m Fabric

For my Edwardian plaid wool walking skirt I only had 1.5 meters of fabric. With fabric piecing and after mending a hole, it was just enough fabric for the skirt. Yay! 😀 My 1900s plaid wool skirt has a button closure, inverted box pleat at the center back, and bias hem facing with velvet covered cording at the hem. I used Edwardian sewing techniques like flat felled seams, receiving tuck and tailor stitching at the hem. And I also made a petticoat with blue viscose taffeta fabric.
