This garment is actually a culotte with a movable front panel that buttons either to the left, for a skirt effect, or to the right for a pant effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sewing pattern has a deep center back pleat conceals the legs, providing plenty of fullness and assuring a smooth hipline. Double front plackets on either side of the front panel are secured with buttons, which extend down to the hem. We've added side seam pockets, not provided on the antique original. Two lengths are presented: a contemporary mid-calf length and the traditional ankle-length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis slick and clean skirt has come to us from the collection of Tona Freeman Blake, who, with Liz Stiffler and Dee Marvine, has co-authored Fanny Sperry Steele's biography. The pattern was developed from Fanny's own skirt by Ruby Erickson of Augusta, Montana. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis PDF pattern has instructions, and files for copy shop (36” and A0), print at home (A4 and 8.5”x11”).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested fabrics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to heavyweight cottons and blends such as poplin, denim, gabardine, corduroy; linen; light to medium-weight wools; suiting weight silks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1694\/7861\/files\/231_Big_Sky_Riding_Skirt_NEW_SIZING_yardage_chart.pdf?v=1739557051\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e231 Yardage Chart \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLEARN MORE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.folkwear.com\/blogs\/news\/making-buttonholes-basics-and-more\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eButtonholes 101: Part 1\u003c\/a\u003e (very helpful for all the buttonholes and buttons in the pattern)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.folkwear.com\/blogs\/news\/buttonhole-101-part-two?_pos=14\u0026amp;_sid=ae2cc2037\u0026amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eButtonholes 101: Part 2\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.folkwear.com\/blogs\/news\/all-the-231-big-sky-riding-skirts?_pos=2\u0026amp;_sid=d7ca8e4cf\u0026amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee all the Folkwear 231 Big Sky Riding Skirt samples\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.folkwear.com\/blogs\/news\/231-big-sky-riding-pants-sew-along?_pos=3\u0026amp;_sid=d7ca8e4cf\u0026amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e231 Big Sky Riding Skirt Sew Along\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folkwear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54142819795237,"sku":"000230-001319","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/4590\/5957\/files\/replic-231-big-sky-riding-skirt-231_cropped.jpg?v=1792525757","url":"https:\/\/eosfabrics.com\/he\/products\/231-big-sky-riding-skirt","provider":"EOS Fabrics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
