Making this darn thing was a serious act of hubris. I figured since I had made the stays with no problem and had sewed more complicated garments in the past, how hard could it be to make a pleated tube skirt? So with all the confidence in the world, I took a look at some extant pieces and just started hacking and smashing my way through only to redo this petticoat 3-4 times depending on how you count. Even after looking at some great resources such as American Duchess's Tutorial and the…

The Standard 18th-Century Petticoat We've had a request from one of our loyal readers for a detailed tutorial on how to make an 18th-century petticoat.

So here goes! The pattern: No pattern or complicated…
