Introducing Evelyn! Our first pattern with photo instructions!
Evelyn is a beautiful 1910s era skirt that can be made with or without pockets. This skirt hits two inches above the natural waist and falls from the top of an internal fitted waistband. The skirt fastens at the side with hooks and eyes and snaps. The pocket version of the skirt has fold down tabs that attach to a belt. The back of the skirt is gathered. When made without pockets, this works exceptionally well with suit jackets. When paired with a blouse in matching fabric, it makes a wonderful skirt for a two-piece dress.
This pattern is a Wearing History Signature Styles pattern. It was based on an original 1917 sewing pattern, and includes not only the original period sewing instructions, but also modern step-by-step photo instructions and cutting charts for modern fabric widths. This pattern also includes notes about this pattern from Delineator magazines of 1917.
