Lately I’m a little bit obsessed with (vintage) slips and petticoats. I own a few thrifted 1950s petticoats but neither was right for most of my (vintage) dresses.
So I was looking online for a red or a black petticoat to wear with my dresses. But everything I found online was too long, too scratchy, too wide or too expensive for me.
That’s why I decided to sew a petticoat myself.
I only used:
1 yard of (cheap) 60” fabric
1 yard of tulle fabric
1 nylon half slip in the color of your fabric
Costs: About 20 USD (with the shipping costs for the fabric to Switzerland)
You can find a tutorial for the petticoat and more pictures of the finished petticoat here.
It looks great!
Welcome back from your vacation – that looks fantastic! I recently had to give in and buy a crinoline pattern to figure this out.
great job! i've always wanted to make my own petticoat- they're so expensive to buy pre-made.
Nice. It almost looks like it could be used as a skirt. These skirts are IN right now.
