Making an 18th Century Skirt with Side Closures

Complete with crappy pattern diagrams! I go through the process of making a simple 18th century skirt, that pairs with the Jumps featured in a previous video. ✩✩ I FILMED THIS SO LONG AGO. I've actually filmed another 18th century skirt tutorial since then, but since I promised this video months ago I wanted to finish it anyway!

I would recommend leaving the skirt on a dress form overnight (if you have one) to see if this will occur with the fabric you've chosen - it's easy to raise the hem, or the waistline before the pleats are sewn down! ✩✩ Things mentioned / additional information: Pause at 1:22 for the measurements I used Making Jumps (the vest this skirt is paired with) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8To_pL3c4yI Blog Post/ Worn photos: https://doxiequeen1.wordpress.com/2017/09/16/making-18th-century-jumps-and-how-they-look-worn/ Undress Costume (similar skirt in action): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoQUKPmVGrU Pleating tutorial: https://sew4home.com/tips-resources/sewing-tips-tricks/how-make-knife-pleats Eyelet Diagram: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/33/5c/78/335c784421d70d7c5c9f7911e18633ad.jpg All the fabrics for this costume were purchased from Jo-anns.
