Folkwear's #209, "Walking Skirt" pattern in teal worsted wool crepe. Shown here over a yoke petticoat and bum pad. This skirt was made to be worn with a tucked blouse, hat, and goes with a parasol.
I really can't say enough good things about this pattern. So far, I've made it up in medium weight linen, crisp cotton twill, and this wool, all with good results.
For this tailored version, I added a cotton batiste lining. The waistband is interfaced with Ban-Roll as I wanted extra support given the weight of the skirt. The drapey quality to this wool called for some structure at the hem, so I added a 1/2" strip of horsehair braid. All skirt seams are topstitched in silk thread.
