TSS-207 Scalloped Over Skirt Sewing Pattern, 19th Century Over Skirt DIGITTAL DOWNLOAD

Overskirts can be worn with many styles of gowns from fancier day dresses to ball gowns. The overskirt can also be used to extend the life and look of a current outfit or to hide a tear or stain in an otherwise perfect garment. This pattern is designed to complement any of our skirt patterns but works extremely well with Timeless Stitches TSS- 203 Gored Skirt pattern.  Like the gored skirt, this pattern also uses pie-shaped panels, to reduce the amount of fabric around the waist. The skirt is designed so that the scallops can be “pulled” in many different combinations, each changing the look of the skirt and allowing you to untie the pulls and lay the skirt flat for laundering. Instructions are included for optional ruffles and hem treatments to add design features to the skirt. The addition of bows, floral clusters, ribbons or tabs at the scallops will also change this look.

As a ballgown over skirt, this skirt helps to extend the principle of making a very basic ballgown and then adding options such as skirts, berthas, and different sleeves over time to change the look of your gown and increase the occasions to which it may be worn.
