Victorian Unmentionables 18" Doll Clothes

Victorian Unmentionables

I have enjoyed using this pattern. I have already used it a number of times. A wonderful pattern.

Sewing boning of hooped skirt

I have only made the hooped skirt so far. It was easy to assemble but the plastic boning I had is impossible to sew through especially with double layers. Having made a hooped skirt for myself in the past I know it is simpler and just as effective to thread boning through casing until both ends overlap and are located away from the opening. They don't come out or even shift around and are not noticeable under the outer garment. A much easier and less frustrating fix especially for doll garments.

Yay! So adorable.

I made the corset, the drawers, and shift from this pattern. All worked out fabulously. I love the historically accurate open-crotch drawers. She really does all the details in her patterns.
