It's time for a new project, and I'm going back to one of my favorite fashion eras -- the bustle period! Inspired by the latest season of HBO's The Gilded Age, I have decided to make a silk bustle gown based on an 1883 fashion plate. But choosing which plate is so hard!

In this video, I will be making the base skirt of the ensemble.
