Truly Victorian TV261-R 1885 Four Gore Underskirt

I acquired some bargain fabric in the form of some red curtains from a charity shop. I finally got round to washing them and unpicking all the seams and linings. Lots of fabric! The theory was that I could try a new pattern, and if it went wrong it wouldn’t matter much. I went for the Truly Victorian pattern for a change – felt a bit less ‘fancy dress’ than some of the other patterns. The basic pattern doesn’t have any trim at the bottom, but I am a sucker for some pleats – two rows it is then!!! This skirt is REALLY simple. Basically rectangles with a curved bottom. Pleated at the back to give volume. No zip, as Victorian, it just overlaps, and will be covered by an overskirt anyway. The plan is to do the ‘lobster’ bustle as an overskirt for this. In pocket watch fabric to link into Robin’s ‘Time’ outfit.
