1875 Parisian Trained Skirt by Truly Victorian

Misses Sizes Waist 20-40 Inches

This skirt is drafted based on an actual garment as seen in a photograph taken in 1875, in Paris. The skirt base is the traditional 5 front gores and full back. The front has two swags, one high and one low on the skirt. The sides are trimmed with vertical ruches simulating a separate panel. The back can be made either bouffant or flat, with a very full train added. The closure is in the left side back seam. An optional pocket is in the right side seam. This skirt would do well with additional petticoats, particularly with a train added to help the train of the skirt run smooth.
