1878 Figured
Bourette Reception Dress 32 Bust - 22 Waist This dress was made of fawn and brown colored figured bourette. The skirt was trimmed with a side pleated flounce of the material and trimmed with brown grosgrain ribbon. Pattern consists of bodice, over skirt and foundation skirt. Yardage - Approx 12 yds 60" wide Attention to those who have purchased this pattern. I was informed that there is an error on the overskirt pattern. I went back to the original pattern and found that I left off some very important symbols. On pattern piece #1 on the left side near the top - there are 2 dots - there should be an X midway between them. On the same side on the bottom there should be A*. On the right side edge there is a line with only dots. Starting at the bottom there should be X's at the following intervals - 3", 12 1/2", 20" and 31". On pattern piece #2 on the right side between the numbers 41 and 40 blank space should read "seam" and on the side marked left side edge, the * should read *C. I made a muslin with the corrections and now it goes together fine. Remember that X always goes on top of the dots. Sorry for the inconvenience. Patterns ordered after 3/22/05 will have the new corrections on them. |

Turn of the Century Reception
Gown Multi-Size 10-16 The princess cut reception gown is deceivingly simple. The complicated construction is due to the Valencienne lace overlay being encrusted with heavy needlework lace below the knees, lark silk embroidery, appliqués at the waist, sleeves and skirt and organza trim at the neck, wrist and hem. The petticoat lining of silk taffeta is attached at the waist and back edges. The skirt hem is finished with several rows of ruffles. It fastens up the back with hooks and eyes. |
