In this video I make a 5 gore walking skirt using period techniques focusing on showing you an accurate way of facing the hem and making the placket.
There are several other ways of facing a hem this but this method was in particular recommended for light weight skirts and silk skirts as it holds up the hem nicely without making it overly stiff.
For the placket I show you how it is constructed with a pocket in it so that it lays nicely.
The skirt pattern can be found here (all measurements are given in metric and comes out as about a 24-inch waist but worked as-is for my 25-inch)
