Big Sky Riding Skirt Costume Pattern
[#231] by Folkwear Patterns

Bring out the cowgirl in you! Equestrian women of the early 20th century, who were determined to ride astride rather than sidesaddle, wore these divided skirts. An ingenious fashion, with front panel that buttons one way for a skirt and the other way for trousers. Pattern is derived from a skirt worn by legendary rancher and rodeo rider, Fannie Sperry Steele. Suggested fabrics: Medium to heavyweight cottons and blends such as poplin, denim, gabardine, corduroy; linen; light to medium-weight wools; suiting weight silks.
Fits women with a waist size of 24" to 32".
