1890s skirt extender

A  new product!

The 1890s skirt extender, modelled on the original advertisment in the ladies paper!

This niftly  skirt support adds volume to your bell shaped 1890s dresses - quickly, without much additional weight, and can be transferred to/ worn with any skirt or petticoat from that era that needs a little bit more oomph at the back!

 Please note that this is made on demand, allow  2-3 weeks for the making!

 Features:

* made out of cotton. either tarlatan or twill

 * a  cotton ruffle/ frill at the base blurs the outline and can be easily replaced when worn

*  hoops boned with synthetic whalebone, securely sewn onto the material

 Options

 * fabric -

Tarlatan, as pictured, is much lighter and stiffer - provides excellent support with hardly any weight. but a bit tricky to pack.

Twill is a little bit heavier and lacks the stiffness, but easier to pack and does the job well, though may need more hoops if the skirt is very heavy (wool, velvets)

 *Fastening

 On a cotton  tie - easy to toe around the waist and to wear with any skirt

 wiht buttons - the top of the extenmded will have buttonholes sewn and buttons will be provided so that the new owner can sew them on whatever skirt  they want

 * boning

 The original ad has 6 hoops, but other solutions also picture 9 -  a good option if the skirts are very heavy.

 Measurements - please provide your waist to ankle measurement in the comments if you want any other size than the standard (made for a 168cm/5'7" tall model).

 Remember that the extender will lift the  back of the skirts a bit - so suitable for skirts cut to accommodate that. If your usual skirt looks good in front but drags at the back, this should solve the problem!

The extender can also be made as a petticoat - all in cotton twill, or in plain silk, with a ruffle all around, and on a fitted waistband -  it will be more expensive and will need more measurements, but please contact us  if you would like that option!
