Pattern #L105 Saloon
Girl
|
|
Bodice, circle and gored skirts, petticoat, drawers, hat, and
stockings. All the components of the pattern Saloon Girl are
separate and can be combined and layered as desired. The bodice is period
correct, with the pleats in back designed to accommodate the bustles of
the 1880's. The bodice is fairly modest to allow modern foundations to be
worn underneath if you desire. You can always lower the neckline and
narrow the shoulders for a more revealing look. The drawers, both long and
short, are period. The petticoat and the skirts are a circle skirt. The
petticoat has 3 layers of gathered lace at both the inside and outside
hem. The skirts can be made in a plain circle or gored circle, with or
without ruffles. The overskirt with drape front and bustle back are period
correct. The cape is 1/2 of a circle skirt. The hat is "costume
construction" as most sewers today don't have access to felt hoods
and hat blocks. The foam gives it a three dimensional look that
approximates felt, though it can be made entirely of buckram if desired.
Millinery wire enables the brim to be shaped. The pattern includes supply
sources, a bibliography, and historical notes. Sizes 6-26 ~ all included in the pattern.
