    I think I’m gonna make one of these. Though I think I’ll need to use a good deal more fabric in the back. I’ve noticed with larger people like us it takes extra fabric to make everything drape in a proportionally equivalent manner. And frankly if we’re talking about gowns or skirts to me there’s no such think as too much fabric. As long as the silhouette and drape feel “right” (balanced? Whatever? lol) that is.

    Fab shape on you! Looking at that, and thinking I could make something which channels late Victorian skirts by adding extra panel(s) in the back of my favourite maxi skirt pattern (the panels are all basically the same shape, although some of the pieces cut on the fold, and some don't, the grainline falls the same way on each).

    The sequence about the two front pieces not being seen correctly reminded me of the time I was making my candy pink dress.based from the one from the film The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex. I thought I could make the skirt just by gathering it and sewing it to the bodice and not have to cut skirt panels. If I wasn't so tall it would of worked but since I was tall the dress stoped at my ankles. It's my favorite costume but when I see photos of it in full length I stil cringe. Not sure if it's because of the skirt or the ugly shoes I tried to make work with the gown.

  • @PocketFullofPoseys

    There really isn't any difference. The Fan Skirt pattern I used had fewer gores than the walking skirt I made, but I don't know that that is true of every fan skirt pattern. The name refers to the pleats in the back, and walking skirt refers to the walking length of the skirt. So, a fan skirt can also be a walking skirt.
