Western pioneers made simpler calico versions of this skirt; later Victorian versions were machine quilted taffeta with flounces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe slimming effect of the skirt is due to a concentration of the quilting in the lower part of the skirt, while the upper skirt section is lined with fabric alone. Ours falls in gathers from a narrow waistband with a placketed side opening.  It may be cut ankle or calf length.  View A uses commercial pre-quilted fabric; View B and C may be machine or hand quilted: View C has more elaborate quilting design and no ruffle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuilting design transfers are included. Transfers are given for a typical floral spray design and grid.  Can be worn with a lacy blouse or knitted top for a causal day wear or romantic evening. Today, it makes a lovely all-season skirt. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTh\u003c\/strong\u003ee PDF pattern has files for copy shop (36 wide and A0), print at home, instructions, and quilting instructions.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested fabrics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight cotton blends, wool challis, silk, satin, taffeta.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEra: Victorian, 1800s (and earlier)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1694\/7861\/files\/206-quiltedprskirt_yardage.pdf?16653493498282843498\"\u003eYardage chart (.pdf)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLEARN MORE: \u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLearn more about the history of the quilted skirt, and see some additional pictures of the skirt in action \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.folkwear.com\/blogs\/news\/the-folkwear-206-quilted-prairie-skirt-pattern-a-bit-of-history\"\u003ehere on our blog\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eVideo of 206 Quilted Prairie Skirt:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folkwear","offers":[{"title":"PDF","offer_id":46456835342535,"sku":"000230-001326","price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Printed","offer_id":46456835375303,"sku":"000230-001326-Printed","price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/3514\/7097\/files\/replic-206-Quilted-Prairie-Skirt_5f4eab8f-e46f-460d-aada-b9956ec5a2b1.jpg?v=1777212683","url":"https:\/\/empiremakespace.com\/products\/206-quilted-prairie-skirt","provider":"Empire Make Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
