Hey guys! I'm adding to my historical/historybounding wardrobe, slowly but surely - this video shows the process that went into making a pleated skirt based on instructions found in Snow's Skirt System, a 1918 sewing manual.
If you're interested in making one of your own, or taking inspiration from any of the other designs in this manual, you can find a free downloadable version here: https://archive.org/details/instructi...
The 1917 dressmaking manual I referenced in this project - and for all my other late 1910s sewing - is available for free as well: https://archive.org/details/dressmaki...
