1893 Blouse Waist

Size Group A only - See Size Chart on page 8

This is a basic gathered Blouse Waist, which was popular in 1893. It has a gathered front and back, with a fitted lining. The center front is cut on the straight of grain, for use with plaids and stripes. The sleeve is the Balloon Sleeve, popular in 1893-94, and has a fitted lining. The Jabot is removable. The gathered blouse waist style was popular from the 1880s, and with a different sleeve, can easily be adapted to the late bustle era. Or, left sleeveless, it can be used effectively as a "vest" for wear under jackets for an 1880-1900 look.

Multi-Size - 32-58" Bust - 22-48" Waist

The plain blouse waist was a very popular style for 1903.  It was especially suited to lace, Battenberg, or fine fabrics, as the simple cut lets the fabric show itself off.  It has a high neck with band collar, to which a stock collar could be buttoned.  This pattern has two styles of stock collar:  a simple round collar and a stylish pointed collar.   The front is without gathers or yoke at the shoulders, but has the generous pouch at the front waist, which helps define the "pigeon breast" look of the period.  The sleeves are in bishop shape, with fullness at the back of the wrist, and pointed tabs on the cuffs.    A "skirt" holds the pouch in perfect shape, and tucks under the dress skirt.  The button closure is in the center back.  This blouse is perfectly suited to be worn over the TVE01 Edwardian Corset
