Sizes 2–36 Included | 1890s Bicycle / Skating Skirt with Train Options

Step into the elegance of the late Victorian era with the Laughing Moon Mercantile #101 Walking Skirt Pattern – a beautifully designed, historically accurate skirt that is as wearable today as it was in the 1890s.

✨ RARE ARCHIVE PAPER PATTERN
This is an original printed paper pattern (not a download) from our long-held archive stock.
Laughing Moon discontinued printed patterns in 2021, making these increasingly hard to find.
Each pattern also includes the original signature sew-on gold “moon face” charm – a lovely collectible detail rarely seen today.
