Making A (Modern!) Edwardian Walking Skirt || Historical Style

The next addition to my growing neo-historical wardrobe is this: an adaptation of the Edwardian walking skirt!

(By the way--yes, the pins did come out of the hem after I had pressed it all into place. 0/10, would not recommend wearing your clothes with pins still in.)

Shoes worn in the final shots are the ‘Gibson’ style from American Duchess.

"how can I be a woman of the 21st century with no pockets!?"
Ask that to jeans and skirts with no pockets.

I like how everyone here has such a crush on Bernadette that they’re changing whole vocabularies to impress her

[kenzielwahn]

Bernadette: speaks elegantly
Also Bernadette: I didn’t trust myself to math well enough

[expateventing]

"i'm not old-fashioned, I'm couture!"

Bernadette: Sews over pins

Me: confused screaming

"now it's time to begin flatlining."

i took that in a completely different way

"I am obsessed with the idea of bringing details of historical dress into the modern wardrobe." SAY NO MORE. I'M SOLD.
EDIT : "How on Earth can I to be a woman of the 21st century and forget to put pockets in my skirt ?" That's very true. Pockets are everything.

Me, sewing while I watch this video: OH NO I FORGOT POCKETS!

Bernadette, two seconds later: I FORGOT POCKETS!!

[elliotberton]

Two years ago I watched this and started sewing, today I'm finishing my second two piece trailor project, thanks!!

[nilodorus]

I have no idea what is going on. never held a needle once in my life, but damn this is great. Her enthusiasm is contagious

[jasph]

usually after binge watching youtube for 7 hours i end up in disturbing places but this is so wholesome and helpful. i do love a good historical inspired piece

[charlottegury]

"I'M NOT OLD FASHIONED, I'M COUTURE" love it, I'm thirteen and do crochet and hand sewing whenever I can, my sister says I act like a grandma and asks me why I'm so old fashioned, now I finally have a pertinent response. Thank you Bernadette!

I HAVE GAINED BRAINCELLS AFTWR WATCHING

[lilab]

Can’t remember the last time i wore a skirt or dress, but this lady’s excitement is so contagious and it looks so pretty on her. I’m feeling a need to sit at my desk and make Edwardian fashion with the highest standards of craftsmanship like it’s 1905 and I’m the most skilled tailor in my village
