Sew like it's 1896. This hands-on workshop teaches you to construct a late Victorian wool walking skirt using period-accurate patterns and dressmaking manuals from the instructor's collection. You'll learn the structure, swing, and finishing techniques that gave 1890s skirts their distinctive silhouette.
