Come make a bustle skirt with Catherine Scholar!
Up your bustle game by augmenting a Truly Victorian skirt pattern with authentic 19th century dressmaking techniques. We’ll cover measurements, pattern adjustments, period sewing techniques, overskirts, trimming, how to drape a bustle, and much more. This class is for intermediate or advanced sewists.
The companion bodice workshop will be October 12-13. Registration is separate; you can take one workshop or sign up for both.
Students will need to bring all sewing tools, supplies for their skirt, a Truly Victorian skirt pattern dated 1870-1889, and the appropriate undergarments and shoes. A supply list, Truly Victorian coupon code, and list of appropriate patterns will be sent to paid students. Washable fabrics will need to be washed and pressed in advance of class.
