Exclusive Quilting Fabric, Quilting Thread, Quilting Kits, Patterns & Quilt Supplies. A Revived Edwardian Revival Skirt. Vicky Clarke has a mission: to bring back historical fashion that flattered curvy women so well in the past, and make it practical and wearable for our 21st century lifestyles.
The skirt we'll be making in this article is a hybrid of original 1900s design, 1970s revival and design simply intended to flatter the body as it is. It's fitted over the waist and hips and elegantly flowing beneath, great for girls with curves, and it can be made into a fantastic evening skirt just as easily as daywear with a twist. We'll start by drafting a custom skirt block, which we'll then slash and spread to get the pattern we want. There are also instructions for an optional applique panel to accentuate the waist: another nod to the original Edwardian style.
In the 1970s, Edwardian fashion came back big-time.
