Truly Victorian #TV445 |
Pattern #445 1864 Sash Belt
Wide belts were very popular through the 1860's. Belts with long
tabs were a favorite in 1864-1866. They look wonderful with a blouse, and
also with a Spanish Jacket. A belt can also dress up a plain bodice. They
can be either the same fabric as the skirt, or a contrasting fabric to
define the waist. Period examples were used for both day outfits and
dinner or evening dresses.
This belt has two long tabs in the front, and 2 longer tabs in the
back. The center back has a laced closure. It fits very nicely over the
TV103 elliptical hoop, but can also be worn with a round hoop. Decorate
with braid, beading, or lace for very pretty results. Multi-sized pattern
waist 20"-44". Approximate yardage required for 45" wide fabric: 1 1/4
yards.

Pattern #TV103
1865 Elliptical Cage Crinoline
The Elliptical cage crinoline was the
main support foundation for the later-and post-Civil War period of
1863-1868. This type of crinoline offers maximum support capabilities for
a perfect shape, combined with flexibility for comfortable wear. It's
shape is narrow over the hips, close to the body in front, and
dramatically expanded to the rear; the most popular shape for 1865-1866
skirts. It is 126" in circumference at the hem. One size fits
all, and can be easily adjusted to size by letting out or taking up the
tie strings inside.

pattern can also be used for petticoats.

Dress for Young Girls

in an 1869 La Mode Illustre. It was stated as for girls ages 2-4 years
old. It has the front of the dress in princess lines, with the back and
sides having an attached skirt. The waist line is slightly above the
natural waist. The skirt is very full in the center back, fitting
smoothly on the sides. It has a square neckline, and a center back
button closure. The sleeve is a full length 2-piece sleeve. The dress
back has a belt that can be adjusted with a button to make the garment
fit more closely if desired.
This is a basic dress for a child, and is suitable
for the years 1865-1875. It can be left plain, or worn with an apron,
for a play dress. The original dress was heavily decorated with braid,
as a fancier dress. This pattern is drafted using modern sizing and ease
for today's comfort. Yet it retains all the historical lines and style
of the period. Multi-sized 3-7 included in pattern. Approximate yardage
required for 45" wide fabric: 3 yards.
