DAY DRESS
This
simple day dress has the narrow sleeves and “Marie Stuart” waist
popular during the middle and late years of the decade. Cartridge
pleating at the waist gives the skirt its soft, rounded shape, which
can be further accentuated by wearing gathered petticoats. Our dress
is based on an original made of cotton furniture check in green and
brown on cream.
Package
includes a ONE-PIECE DRESS pattern.
SIZES:
10, 12, or 14

PALETOT JACKET ENSEMBLE
The
three-piece dress is meant to be worn over a full oval hoop. The
short-waisted bodice is a perfect example of 1860s style, as is the
full skirt, which is at its largest for the nineteenth-century. The
loose-fitting paletot jacket, a fashion popular throughout the
decade, adds the finishing touch.
Package
includes patterns for a BODICE, SKIRT, and JACKET.
SIZES:
10, 14

AVANT-GARDE GOWN (DISCONTINUED PRODUCT)
An
“artistic” gown definitely not in keeping with the mainstream
fashion of its day. While Paris decreed a tight corset, bustle, and
elaborate surface decoration, a great many women wore this simple,
flowing style as an expression of artistic sensitivity and taste.
The original is of muted blue-green wool, with front panel of
matching watered silk shirred at waist and throat.
Package
includes a ONE-PIECE DRESS pattern.
