Women's Sizes XS-2XL

Although the fashions of the 1910-12 incorporated a new straight, slim silhouette as a departure from the Edwardian S-curve and full, swishing skirts, there seemed to be a reluctance to abandon the lovely lacy detailing of that earlier period.  This type of dress was sometimes referred to as a "Lingerie Dress" on account of the sheer, white delicacy of the fabric and trim with which it was made.

The bodice of our sewing patter for the Garden Party Dress reflects the less constricting tailoring of the post-Edwardian era.  Soft gathers below a square yoke and at the waist provide a comfortable fit.  Two wide flanges emphasize the princess line.  These were typically made of lace or eyelet as in View B.

View A, our contemporary interpretation, has a self-bias bound jewel neckline, self-fabric flanges, and a gathered mid-calf length dirndl skirt.  View, B, the traditional version, has a lowered square neckline.  The ankle-length skirt is darted into the waistline for a very flattering, slimming fit;  purchased lace or eyelet on the flanges, cuffs, front yoke, and back add elegance and femininity.  Both views feature three-quarter length sleeves eased into wide below-the-elbow cuffs and a buttoned center back opening.  

The straight cut of the skirt makes this dress a natural for border prints and eyelet.

This sewing pattern is available as a paper pattern or a PDF pattern.  Choose the format you want in the drop down menu.  The PDF pattern has files for instructions, print at home, and copy shop versions.

Suggested Fabrics:  Soft, sheer to lightweight fabrics such as cotton batiste, voile, lawn, gauze, or eyelet; rayon challis; silks; wool challis or blends.

True to size & color, modest cut, fitted style
Color: Purple, Size: Small
The cut on these tops are perfect. It's a nice v-neck without being revealing. Thick straps and solid back so your bra doesn't show. Sizing is accurate in my case. 5'6" 130lbs chest 34" waist 26" hips 39" and I ordered the small which is fitted on me. I ordered the lavender purple and a black one and both colors are correct in shade. Soft and stretchy material. I air dry them mostly and only gentle low on the dryer if needed and have not had any shrinking.

A Diabetic Traveler's Best Friend at the Hot Springs!
Size: 13-14 Women/12-13 Men, Color: Black-w001
I'll be honest — I bought these almost last minute before heading out on vacation to the Hot Springs in Carson City, Nevada. As someone with diabetes, I have to be really careful about my feet, especially on rough or hot concrete surfaces. Pool decks and spa areas can be brutal, and I've had too many close calls just walking around barefoot. I grabbed these water shoes almost as an afterthought, and they ended up being one of the best decisions of the whole trip. From the moment I slipped them on, I could tell they were going to do the job. They fit true to size — no awkward sizing guesswork — and they hugged my feet snugly without feeling restrictive or causing any pressure points (a big deal for me). The sole gave me just enough protection from the concrete and wet surfaces around the springs, and I never once felt like I was going to slip. That peace of mind alone was worth every penny. They're lightweight enough that I barely noticed I had them on, and they dried quickly after getting splashed or submerged. No heavy, waterlogged feeling dragging me down. I wore them in and out of the water all day and my feet felt totally fine — no soreness, no irritation, nothing. For someone managing diabetes, that's honestly huge. I genuinely have zero complaints. These delivered exactly what they promised and then some. Whether you're headed to a hot spring, a beach, a pool, or just doing some light water yoga, these are a solid buy. Hope this helps!

Great water socks
Size: 8.5-9.5 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Shark Blue
Perfect! I’m autistic and this was the last piece of the puzzle for my sensory experience at the pool. They feel like wearing socks with hard soles on and are great for if you need to walk through gravel or anything. They don’t trap water much and the fabric is stretchy and comfortable. I liked the range of colors, I got the one with sharks. I wear a men’s size 8 shoe and I got the same size here, it was the correct size with a little extra room.

Colorful, comfortable, durable water shoes
Size: 8.5-9.5 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Shark Blue, Size: 8.5-9.5 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Shark Blue
I have ordered 5 pairs of these water shoes. The quality is amazing the bottom is durable, the stitching feels strong, they are comfortable, slip resistant, fit true to size and look awesome! We ordered the paisley, the blue geo, galaxy, lightning (lightning was sent back as we received the wrong size) and sharks. Only reason they are getting a 4 star instead of 5 is because I would much rather have the cushion inside sewn in instead of it being like an insert but that is what I find to be most common with these type of shoes.
