Product Description
This Ballgown Skirt is an original design based on elements and ideas in use during the 1850's and 1860's. The top skirt is pulled up in swags, revealing a box pleated ruffle underneath. Double box pleats at the waist complete the look. If desired, contrasting fabrics may be used, or a single tone is very elegant. Garnish the swags with flowers or bows. This is a very elegant skirt, that is also easy to make. Made out of cotton calico, this pattern is a nice "country" ball gown and picnic dress. Richer materials and elaborate trims make this a skirt fit for a high society evening. This skirt fits best over TV141 Cage Crinoline. All sizes included in the package.

Came out beautiful
Posted by Maggie on 30th Sep 2020
This went together really nicely in embroidered silk. I did a light yellow color for the top layer and a darker burgundy for the bottom. I added bows at the top of each gather made from the 1850-1873 Ballgown Bodice pattern that I paired with this.
