In this video, I take you through the process of creating a beautiful Victorian petticoat, showcasing each step of the construction. Using luxurious materials such as ivory silk taffeta, delicate insertion and hem lace, and fine silk thread, I demonstrate how these elements come together to craft an authentic piece of historical clothing. The petticoat is finished with hooks and eyes for a secure fit. Follow along as I transform these materials into a classic Victorian garment.
