This was made using the instructions from The American Duchess Guide. We ended up with the majority of the pleats towards the front and their pattern has a curve. Having made this up, we weren't completely happy with it being made as the outer petticoat. So when we come to making that, we will use a different method.
Materials:
44" wide White Cotton
2-3 Metres of 1.5cm wide tape
|
Just showing you our calculations to create a curved pattern.
|
|
Leave a 10 cm gap without pleats on the front piece only. The pleats do rise the further to the side you go. For the back piece, pleat all the way to the middle back. Sew up the side seams but leave a decent opening unsewn. |
|
Cut out two waist bands and attach to skirt front and back
|
Because of the lack of pleating to the side, it made the pocket gape. If you did not attach your tapes before you turned the waistband, sew them in now. This completes the Under Petticoat.
