This pattern is drafted out of the popular Keystone Guide to Jacket and Dresscutting published in 1895. It is the walking skirt on pages 82-83 and is the fullest option presented, being the Umbrella Skirt. The skirt is flat-lined and it features an 11” stiff interfacing at the hem, an optional 4” gathered dust ruffle. The closure is at center back and features a large, hidden pocket inside the seam of the 8” placket; the pocket is suspended from the waistband with a small length of twill tape to ensure its contents do not weight down the back. It closes with hooks and eyes and snaps. This pattern is suitable for a 24” waist and has approximately 42” hips at the fullest point. This was the average difference between waist and hips during the late 1890s and early 1900s as both corsetry and intense hip padding was utilized.
