Pattern #TV454 1845
German Day Dresses
This pattern is for a variety of 1845 dresses. It is drafted using a
German tailor's guide written circa 1843. This style is suitable for the
years 1840-1853, and should be worn over several petticoats rather than a
hoop. View A has a gathered Fan Front bodice, with a fitted lining and a
smooth back. View B has a fitted front with reveres, narrow at the waist
and widening out to the shoulders. The bodice can also be left plain if
desired. The bodice is fitted in the front with seam from shoulder to
front waist, instead of darts. It also has a side, side back, and back
seams for a closer fit recommended for the larger German body frame. The
waistline is slightly low all around, with a deep point in the front. The
full skirt can be attached to the bodice, or can be sewn to a separate
waistband. The closure is in the center back, with hooks and eyes. The
narrow 2 piece sleeve can also be headed with an optional sleeve cap.
Each size is hand drawn, not scaled, with all of the bodice seams
true to the era. This bodice is designed to fit snugly over a corset.
