This skirt is drafted based on an actual garment as seen in an 1887 fashion magazine. It is designed to be worn with a four-gore underskirt and petticoat TV101. The front hangs in long drapes just overlapping in the center front and pulled high up onto the hips. The back is long and bouffant, with the sides falling in folds to make a nice uneven hem line. The closure is in the center front.

This pattern works best with non-bulky fabrics, and makes a very nice summer outfit.
