Constructing the Victorian Walking Skirt 2-Day Workshop

Create your own late-1890s “straight-to-bias” walking skirt in this two-day sewing workshop by fashion expert Robert Haven.
About this Event

Create your own late-1890s “straight-to-bias” walking skirt in this two-day sewing workshop inspired by the iconic Gibson Girl silhouette. Participants will learn how to draft the skirt pattern directly onto fabric using their own measurements and discover which fabrics work best for this style of garment.

Beginners are encouraged to start with plain muslin for their first attempt, which can later function as a petticoat.

Cost: $75 members, $100 nonmembers. Must call museum to receive members discount.
