Making an Edwardian lingerie skirt, c. 1905.

Welcome to the video where I sell my Edwardian winter knit dress. Not quite yet. We are making a skirt today. The skirt that I'm wearing now, but I obviously won't show you it right now. Well, the pattern that I will be using is Truly Victorian's circular skirt pattern, 1905 circular skirt. And I think it, I thought that it would fit perfectly to the winter knit dress and it does. I must spoiler you. Well, without much further ado, let's get right into the process. So I kind of got an idea how I want the laces to be placed and I think it's going to be all right, because I have to play a little bit with everything, because I don't know if I got the lace amount right, like the order, but it's okay, because this smaller lace was actually supposed to go on the blouse, but I think I've got too much of it. Like, yes. And the wider on top, the lace was supposed to be on the skirt and I wanted to play with it to actually make it happen to be on the skirt. And I got something like it just will be high, like not on the bottom edge, but like on high, higher. And I don't know if I like it or not, but I will see. Also, it looks like this so far. It's just pinned. It's not, it's not even, it's open here. Like, it just pinned on the waistband or just at the waist. And yeah, I didn't record how I was cutting it, because, well, the whole pattern is just so big. Like, actually. And I didn't feel like just messing around. And my room is really small for things lace process took me so much time. Like, I'm not even kidding. It was probably, it took more than the dress itself. It took like nearly a week to just complete, because I'm not really good at inserting lace, I guess. And I also was doing it in my friend's house, off the camera a little bit, because it's just kind of uncomfortable to record. But I opened the holes here and here, and I'm just gonna sew like here. I don't think I'm gonna record this, and it's a long, long process. Oh my god, my hand hurts. Probably the best thing about this skirt is the train. It's so beautiful. Also, I can wear it without the corset as well. My waist isn't much different than my waist after a corset. Surprisingly, it was my first time doing a placket, and I had to just not improvise, but think like 50 times what I'm doing. Because doing a mock-up really helped. Yeah, that's a normal thing, but I also had to think. Well, what a surprise, yeah? But I'm quite okay with how it turned out for my first time doing it. Also, ignore that I was drinking a cucumber water like some seconds ago. I mean, I'm Slavic. If you didn't do this as a Slavic person, then what? What? So, I rolled these edges twice, and I'm gonna sew it by machine. I want to sew this by hand, but I want to save myself some work, and it wouldn't matter anyways. So, I didn't do the binding tape or whatever you want to call it, because, well, I think I will do the giant petticoat underneath the skirt, the overall dress anyway. So, I also want to save myself some work, some fabric. So, and I find this one, like, I don't know if it's probably not really historically accurate for this era, but I do what I can.
