SIZE

This pattern is available in one size only.  Bust 36", waist 30", hip 39"

 

- Difficulty -

Intermediate difficulty.  Instructions are original to the time period and are somewhat minimal

 

-Size Information and Yardage Requirements-

 

For fabrics, we suggest a nice, crisp mid-weight cotton (such as quilting lengths). This also would be lovely in a linen, or even a velveteen for more formal occasions. It can also be made in a rayon challis for a cool summer dress. Don’t forget your interfacing and four buttons for the bolero! For the dress you will need one 9” zipper.

 

 

 

-Additional Notes-

Because this was based on a period original, a mock up is HIGHLY SUGGESTED.  Test construction and fit on your unique figure before cutting into your fashion fabric.

 

About Wearing History Resto-Vival™ Patterns

 

Resto-Vival™ Patterns are original historic patterns that have been restored and revived.  Original patterns are usually available only in single sizes, precut from tissue paper and totally unprinted, with details like grainlines and darts indicated only by small perforations.  Resto-Vival™ patterns are printed on sturdy bond paper instead of tissue and clearly marked with drawn and labeled markings.  These markings aid the modern sewer in understanding the markings of the original pattern and the construction of the garment.  Resto-Vival™ patterns follow the period shapes of the original patterns, maintaining the historical accuracy of the completed garment.  Original period instructions are included. These instructions are text only (unless otherwise noted) and fairly minimal, especially compared to instructions for modern patterns.  At least an intermediate knowledge of dressmaking and a good familiarity with pattern construction is suggested.  You may choose to have a modern or period sewing book handy to help with basic construction methods that the pattern instructions do not cover in detail.  Also, fitting a muslin mockup is strongly recommended, as all garments were meant to be worn over period foundation garments or corsetry.

Great multi-purpose shirt...from the office to a night out
Color: Black, Size: Large
First impression, it is a great shirt. I was hesitant to purchase because of sizing concerns...products from them and similar brands tend to be too slim fitting for my taste. However, this shirt appears to be true to size, well at least American sizing. I typically wear a large and this one fit almost perfectly. Both neckline and length are perfect...can be tucked in or worn untucked. I am looking forward to wearing it with a blazer for a business meeting. It will also be great for a night out when I visit my favorite tropical vacation spot. I will definitely be buying more.

Check size.
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large
I normally order a large. This was a little loose. Some may like that. Otherwise, it is a comfortable shirt.

Fantastic super soft Mock Turtleneck short sleeve shirt!
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Medium
COOFANDY Mens Mock Turtleneck Shirts Short Sleeve Casual Basic T-Shirts Ribbed Solid Pullover Top is fashionable and comfortable with a softness I wasn’t expecting. The fabric is excellent quality and just the right thickness for this time of the year. The sizing was perfect as the mock turtleneck short sleeve shirt hugs my body perfectly. I love the way it looks on me and I plan on purchasing a few more. Great addition to my golf apparel!
