Description: Timeless Stitches TSS-202 "THE GORED SKIRT" pattern. This is a new, unused pattern in the original factory fold. Be aware that this is not a pattern with paper pieces, but it gives simple directions for drafting a pattern piece based on the size, length and type of skirt you are making. It truly is a pattern which includes sizing for ALL ages,waistlines and heights and for all hoop sizes. "A basic skirt pattern that can be used for everything from a work skirt to a ballgown bottom. The skirt is designed to be pleated in the front and gauged in the back. Gauging (cartridge pleating) was the method of choice for the women of the era to gather the fabric into the waistband. The waistband utilizes double openings which makes the skirt adjustable for waistline changes. Information is give on skirt lengths and hem choices." Suggested fabric and trims: A skirt can be made of almost any fabric imaginable. You want to look for fabrics that have "period" appeal. Cottons, silks, rayon, wool and blends all work well. Unless you desire the "fancy" look, try to stay away from shiny fabrics. You can use calicos, stripes, dots (what we now call polka dots), small florals, and solids. Try to avoid large patterns and prints unless you are after a specific look. Consider the time of year you plan on wearing your garment when choosing your fabric. To be historically correct your trims should be 100% cotton. Look for eyelet and flat laces that are not glossy in appearance. Contrasting fabric stripes and inserts make great skirt trims. There are also many packaged bias trims that work great. Always consider what you plan on wearing your skirt with, when choosing your trim. Ladies of the Era loved to coordinate their clothing. Your skirt trim should match or compliment your bodice trim. The pattern calls for: 5-6 yards of 45" fabric, depending on hoop size. 4 skirt fasteners, trims of choice.
