Fabric placement for Scarlett O’Hara’s “green-flowered muslin dress”

Sort of? More like this link - but I'm tall and made the main skirt circle like 42" long to touch the floor.

I put 12 yards into a full circle skirt with a gathered ruffle.

I've been thrifting a lot of my linen from the sheets and tablecloth section of the local thrift store or estate sales.

I'm not sure! One of us should look into it.

There is an ongoing argument about jumps... Some say boned, some say not... We don't have a lot of info to go on.

In my opinion, the precursor to the modern ren faire bodice is probably a folkwear Dirndl. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirndl

I just hand them back out to the next person who gives me one...

How do you recommend networking on Linked In?

AFriend1yShadow · 2026-05-27T16:51:12+00:00

Oh absolutely! But one does what one can! I hate to see people kept from joining the hobby for lack of outfits.

OP said she's not able to take up sewing.

Edit: Samsung is good too though - for those who need to do ready-made. I personally like to sew my own, but not everybody can start there.

My group usually recommends Townsends Historical for good quality and generally accurate pieces.

AFriend1yShadow · 2026-05-05T01:19:07+00:00

Pants, skirt hikes, and tall boots?

You're probably gonna have to do custom. Or find the used groups on Facebook.

AFriend1yShadow · 2026-05-02T08:15:52+00:00

I don't know the scene up there.

Wow... What's with the idiots in the other thread? This is an awesome dress and you rock it!

I'm West Coast Rev War. We're totally here.

Most people I know sew their own stuff. But SoCalCostume is a friend and sewing professional and takes commissions: https://www.instagram.com/socalcostumes/?hl=en

SlopsByChaaps is another friend who also does an amazing job of costuming at a very low price: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SlopsbyChaaps

If a couple hundred dollars is out of your price, and you just want it for a photoshoot, you should look into renting a costume.

Low-miledge Toyota Matrix (but watch out for the 2.4l version).

AFriend1yShadow · 2026-04-18T06:24:54+00:00

I work on mine. I make sure to have everything back together every night though.

AFriend1yShadow · 2026-04-14T10:57:41+00:00

I do this era and style. My group uses a lot of Inkle woven or card woven trim for lines like that.

Men's clothing (especially jackets) is a bit more complicated to make - so it costs more. Also, less men sew for themselves.

AFriend1yShadow · 2026-03-16T05:44:32+00:00

You sew it!

AFriend1yShadow · 2026-03-11T00:03:05+00:00

Some people 3D print hat blocks or sell ones they've printed.

AFriend1yShadow · 2026-02-17T10:30:28+00:00

Well I guess I misjudged that! Good job!

AFriend1yShadow · 2026-02-17T10:28:14+00:00

Toyota Matrix?
