***********************
Skirt for dress "with Bulgarian sash", 1913
***********************

No size given.

4 m grass green damask,
1,5 m black merveilleux (for the sash),
1 m wide ribbon (for the front edges and sleeve hems, 
    I think - that's white tulle)

44 main part (only in overview)
45 yoke
46 & 46a belt or sash

Stick together parts 46 and 46a along "cut line" before 
cutting the fabric. G must meet G, H must meet H.

Part 46a appears folded in the pattern, i.e. the inner drawing
must be flipped over along the line marked "fold line". See
pattern overview.

In part 44, the line at 65 is marked "centre front", the one at 
127 "centre back". The rectangle is 150 x 96 cm.

Part 45, the yoke, has different markings for the front edge of 
the left side (shorter) and the right side.

Sew together right and left side of yoke.
Gather main part of skirt and set skirt onto yoke along marking.
(Apparently, there should be some pleats between CF and edge of 
the main part. Hard to see.)
Turn a wide hem at the lower and vertical edges, which remain 
open save for some loose stitching. 

Put buckram under the upper edge of the yoke and set the skirt onto 
the lining taille (*); the overlapping right side goes onto the top
fabric of the taille. Make a hook & eye closure.

Sew on the upper edge of the sash along the marking "belt", pleat 
front edges where marked (drape onto the person to get the best 
results) and lightly attach to the yoke in the pleats. The lower edge
is left hanging loose.

The vertical part of the sash is not mentioned in the pattern. It
has a bead fringe at the end and is simply hung over the sash. Three
silk flowers in yellow, violet and green decorate it at the waist.
The collar tips are embroidered with long beads.



*) you can use a generic lining taille as on page
http://www.marquise.de/schnitte/20jh/s1900.shtml, the first three listed,
or use the 1913 lining taille which will appear soon.
