Becoming a Modern Edwardian: Testing Ora Lin's Trumpet Skirt Pattern

[@OdessaDenby]

I have no idea why "Tulip Skirt" was wedged in my brain, but it's actually called the "Trumpet Skirt"-- so, my bad! Anyway, I hope you all enjoy my inadequate description of putting in pockets. What are you working on this February?

[@Jaisha26]

I absolutely LOVE your channel! I hope you get real popular! Need more ladies sewing vintage plus size fashion! You look fantastic!

[@OdessaDenby]

Thank you so much, you're so kind! I don't intend to get too popular because that feels like a lot of pressure, haha. But I enjoy what I do and I'm glad you do too!

It looks so nice! I've been wanting to make a shortened walking skirt for a bit and even have some fabric for it, hopefully I'll get to it before spring!

[@OdessaDenby]

This is a great length for me for everyday, but you could easily shorten it depending on your height and preferences.

[@canucknancy4257]

It looks great. What a versatile piece to add to your wardrobe!

[@OdessaDenby]

Yes, it definitely blends really well into modern outfits at this length!

the last walking skirt i made was with a cotton twill i think? in portuguese it's a "Sarja" and it is so easy to sew with 😍 specially after sewing with linen, wool and mistery shifty fabrics

[@OdessaDenby]

Linen is still my one true love, but I probably need to do a heavier version of this one for winter wear...

[@jennglow4647]

Very pretty 😀

[@armedvsokord]

A very lovely skirt and pattern test!

[@OdessaDenby]

Thank you for watching!

[@mcanultymichelle]

Look good nice color too.

[@OdessaDenby]

Thanks! It's called "Moss" and it's from Robert Kaufman

I am wanting to make an Elizabeth Bennett (2005) dark brown dress the one she wears in the opening scene. I would like a lighter linen fabric that would be good for summer but I am new to sewing and don’t know where to get a quality fabric other than Joanns. Any suggestions?

[@OdessaDenby]

I bought this material (linen/rayon blend, very light) from a small local fabric shop, it might be worth looking to see if there are any independent retailers in your area. They will probably carry a more unique variety than your local chains. I order a lot of linen online as well. Fabrics-Store and Destash are two I've used in the past, but I'm always on the lookout for other sources, so I check in with other creators frequently.
