Cats Costumery | How to Make a Skirt Placket | Victorian Sewing @CatsCostumery | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!
This was highly requested after I mentioned plackets in the making of videos of a couple of historical skirts. Here are videos on how to make those skirts, they are very similar and are both 1890s skirts:
1890s walking suit youtube.com/watch?v=aAA_PN8saLY
1890s walking skirt youtube.com/watch?v=bIE-1seJaps
The skirt I am using for this tutorial is the skirt which constitutes my Edwardian Mourning dress, you can find that video here: youtube.com/watch?v=aRljbTT6V_Y
Do let me know if there is anything that is no very clear! Something I want to mention is that I then used pretty much the exact same method for my bodice closure for the Edwardian gown too, so this method can be used for all kinds of closures. If you are uneasy about using your machine to sew over the eyes (indeed, I totally agree), there are a few other options. You can handsew this seam, so you can add snaps instead, or handsew eyes after the seam is sewn or you can also sew the placket on and then add handsewn bars.
