Making an 1840s dress Part III: the skirt

Hello everyone! This is the last video (finally) in this small series documenting how I made my 1840s dress. I made a playlist with the other videos, you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZBZZR_0HJ8&list=PLXxaja7Ldgi1WTQc2fa6hDSck61PHuvR_ I don't actually have anywhere to wear this dress to (like all of my historical stuff), but I had fun making it nonetheless! Hopefully my adventure into this decade can help or inspire someone else to try it too. My 1840s Pinterest Board: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/katisinth...

The bodice is based on a Truly Victorian pattern. I used nearly 8 m of cotton organdy for the petticoats.
