I’m not sure you need to make another one. Depends on the silhouette you are trying to create. A few petticoats – ruffled, plain, starched, etc.- may be all you need. I’ve made several corded petticoats but wear one most often for both 1830s and 1840s.

Really lovely to see the different shapes they make. Do you have any info on the correct length of corded petticoats. I have noticed many of them are quite short compared to plain petticoats. Would the plain ones worn over the top be longer than the corded one (prob a stupid question). I’m looking to put together a few basic Victorian undergarments that will cover me for several decades and a good corded petticoat seems to be a must have . The shape they create is so pretty and does give an authentic to a dress look. I tried making the Past Patterns one in cotton but it was a bit of a hash tbh, the cording was to wide. It is wearable though. Would it be worth making a muslin one with fine cording to go over it or would this be to much structure/weight. They are are flippin heavy. I’m worried I might not be able to move!!

Thanks

Best of luck!

You are welcome Carolyn! Was that my corded petticoat class at CoCo or Kendra’s fabulous overview class (which I myself learned SO much in)? The best of luck on your underpinnings!
