I was looking forward to today's session, It was our first crinoline construction session. Crinoline skirts play a huge part in our history and are seen through many decades, even royalty! I find it fascinating to see how the skirts are made and couldn't wait to begin the session.
Victoria took us through the first steps of creating our own half-scale crinoline skirts. It all began with making our own pattern, we started by measuring and accurately marking our pattern pieces. I found this satisfying but challenging all at the same time, much like a corset the crinoline needed to be 100% accurate when it came to constructing it.
Once the pattern pieces were cut out we began to follow Victoria's lead and began to sew them up, I was so excited to see the outcome of my very own crinoline.
