1905 Walking Ensemble

I made this walking outfit from 1905 out of mostly thrifted materials!

Here are some pictures and details of how I made this!

The outfit consists of two outer pieces: a synthetic silk orange walking skirt and a heavy cotton day blouse with lace insertions. I wore this as part of my Halloween costume! Here are some pictures from a graveyard. The skirt closes with snaps and hooks and eyes and the blouse buttons down the back collar and yoke. I used Folkwear sewing patterns for both the skirt and the blouse and wore it all over my Edwardian combinations, S-bend corset, corset cover, bum pad, and two other skirts I own as petticoats. Cotton and synthetic fiber stockings and shoes I thrifted for $8. It was surprisingly comfortable to wear, and I've worn the full ensemble for twice for the whole day with no discomfort!
