Hi Kelly. I don’t specifically have full tutorials on those patterns. I have made the wash skirt, though. You are welcome to post your questions within the Day Dress class and I can help you there.

I have purchased your Victorian Day Bustle Dress and the lack of detail in the pattern instructions have me perplexed. I consider myself an intermediate-level sewer. Please let me know if you are aware of any resources.

I debated endlessly over how to mount the horizontal stripe panel – should I cut a yoke? Should I cut the skirt whole and mount the stripe on top? Should I cut the yoke from twill only and sew the stripe to the bottom edge? […]

I have so much junk in my trunk that it’s hard to get the bustle and/or cage crinoline to fit properly at the hips. I had to re-engineer the TV elliptical hoop about 10 times before it fit properly! It’s easier in historical costuming to have none and create some than to have too much and try to work around it, haha.

Muslin or polished cotton are best. You can see an original cotton lining a taffeta bodice here.
