Also, the Walking S...:) I'm so glad you agree.<br /><br />Also, the Walking Skirt is absolutely lovely, and I've been wanting to get a copy of the pattern for a while. My go-to patterns are a self-drafted dirndl skirt and a late 1950s/early 1960s full a-line skirt pattern, but I might have to add the Walking Skirt to my repertoire.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221321378041840726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056109606386473492.post-70574727871313751872014-03-14T11:57:42.820-07:002014-03-14T11:57:42.820-07:00I have been thinking the same thing!

And I will make myself one at some point.I have been using the Folkwear Edwardian Underthings pattern for petticoats, but have been making them from cotton lawn at this point. Cotton lawn is wonderful stuff. My go to skirt pattern is the Walking Skirt. I'm not into Lolita, but I have found that I am just tired of wearing jeans and pants. I've done it for most of my life and I wanted a change. I will definitely have flannel petticoats for next winter.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382050215676302342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056109606386473492.post-74246414882513829302014-03-03T21:04:41.070-08:002014-03-03T21:04:41.070-08:00I've actually made a couple of flannel skirts....I've actually made a couple of flannel skirts...maybe using them as underskirts would make Lolita a bit more bearable in this -40' and beyond crap we've been dealing with.Mykkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492580159493595698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056109606386473492.post-5649231971478155822014-03-02T04:03:21.420-08:002014-03-02T04:03:21.420-08:00… that's actually a good point: why aren't...… that's actually a good point: why aren't they a thing? Just like you, I drop lolita completely during the winter, it's just too cold, but what if we could keep our tights warm with flannel petticoats? I think they'd even add extra poofiness, since the fabric would be thicker than the usual tulle.Shannon Rutherfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181513036176083564noreply@blogger.com
