| The Autumn Overskirt design is seen in several fashion plates from the early 1880's, until about 1887. It was very popular during the transitional period of 1884 -1886, when the bustle was reintroduced after a period of unsupported skirts. It is designed to be worn with an underskirt and bustle petticoat TV101. The long, gored front apron is heavily swaged with pleats high at the side back, which disappear under the back drapery. It can be either pointed or rounded, in both front and back. The back has drooping poufs framed at the sides by a rippled "fall" on each side. The closure is in the center back. This pattern may not be suitable for stripes. |

The Natural Form era Petticoat with Detachable Train - TV121 is being retired. Instead, we will be replacing it with an updated version - TV125 - but with the same name. With a totally revamped train piece, I felt it would be better to rename the pattern as new, rather than issue a new version with the same number. The main body of the petticoat will be the same, with the netting pillowed between two layers in the back. But the changes include 2 small hem ruffles instead of 1 larger one. And the train will now come off the back of the petticoat behind the knee, rather than at the floor. This will allow the petticoat to be used with TV225 - Fantail Skirt. I have long wanted to "fix" this pattern so that it was more functional, and hopefully the new version coming very soon will do everything I need it to. Anyone who has ordered the TV121 petticoat after May 17th will be receiving the new TV125 version instead. We should have the new pattern available very soon. Thank you all very much! and Happy Sewing! All news Subscribe |
