This is a DIGITAL sewing pattern based on an extant dress from about 1840.

The dress is based on an extant day dress from the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and dated from 1837 to 1840, made of a floral printed challis.
The dress features some typical details of the time period, like a wide and rounded neckline, contrasting piped seams and the wide sleeves pleated to fit round of the top of the arm and held in place by two piped bands of fabric, cut on the bias. At the wrist, the excess width of the over-length sleeve is gathered to fit a narrow cuff.
The fashion fabric of the bodice is mounted on a tight fitting lining bodice from a polished cotton fabric. The front panel from the fashion fabric is divided at the center front and stitched together again with a piped seam. The neckline is decorated with a ruffle, cut on the bias and the loose edge neatened with the same silk ribbon as used for the piping. The bodice closes at the center back with hooks and eyes.
The skirt is made from several widths of fabric. At the front and side portion of the bodice, the skirt is laid into regular knife pleats, the remaining width of the skirt is gathered to fit the smaller back portion of the bodice. If wanted, the gathering can be replaced by small, rolled pleats or cartridge pleating.

This dress should be worn with a matching corset and petticoat.

Top quality
Style: L Bracket w/ Lip, Size: 11.25", Style: L Bracket w/ Lip, Size: 11.25"
These brackets are well worth the money! I was looking at similar brackets at a big box, brick and mortar store for a kitchen shelving project. These were similar but cheaper. The difference being that they didn’t hold as much weight. This wasn’t a concern for me as I was attaching to furring strips instead of studs, which were not centered so I had to use more brackets than necessary to give it a more centered appearance. At 75# per bracket weight will never be an issue. These also came with their own screws and anchors which the other store did not. I was not able to use them for my project, again because of the outside walls being block with furring strips, there wasn’t enough air space between the drywall and the block to accommodate the length of the anchors and screws, but this is another economical addition to buying these brackets. I would definitely recommend. Good quality, durability, style and function.

Simple, gorgeous, heavy duty
Style: L Bracket w/ Lip, Size: 11.25", Style: L Bracket w/ Lip, Size: 11.25"
I needed to mount a heavy wood shelf and wanted something with clean lines that would keep it safely in place above a bed. These are heavy duty solid iron and I mounted them into wall studs. Instructions didn't say what size drill bit to use, but 9/64" worked perfectly. The package has drywall mounts too, but I can't imagine they'd hold safely. Put the shelf up and it looks great! The lip on the front of each bracket is another plus that keeps the shelf from slipping forward.
