MA013 - The Elizabethan Lady's Underskirt and Forepart Pattern by Margo Anderson
The Skirt or Underskirt is has straight front and back panels and triangular side gores, giving it a good amount of flare with minimal gathering or pleating at the waistband. This skirt style was worn by women of all classes. Women of the upper class were more likely to wear it as an underskirt, although it was seen worn with doublets. It can be sewn to a bodice to create a kirtle or gown, or it can be made up as a separate garment with a waistband.
The Skirt is cut wide enough to be worn over a farthingale, if desired. (see our Elizabethan Lady’s Underpinnings package MA001).
The Forepart is a decorative panel which was worn under an open fronted skirt or gown (see our Elizabethan Overskirt MA014 and Elizabethan Comfort patterns MA005). It can be sewn directly to the Underskirt, or made to be detachable so that several versions can use the same underskirt.
This pattern is printed on white bond paper.
Sizes 2-30 are included.
Note: These two patterns are the same as those originally part of Margo Anderson's, now out of print Elizabethan Lady’s Wardrobe pattern, so if you have that package, you do not need to purchase this one.
