1860's Darted Bodice
Sizing A B C D E F G H I J K L M N
Bust 30" 32" 34" 36" 38" 40" 42" 44" 46" 48" 50" 52" 54" 56"
Waist 22" 24" 26" 28" 30" 32" 34" 36" 38" 40" 42" 44" 46" 48"

This bodice is drafted for the re-enactor, and is the basic darted bodice that was seen throughout the 1860's.   Though seen as casual wear in 1860, by 1863, this style gains popularity and becomes accepted for more dressy occasions.  By 1865, it is the most common bodice style, and remains so until the 1870's. It has a jewel neckline, moderately dropped shoulder, and ends round at the natural waist.   The center front is cut on the straight of grain, and is fitted with 2 darts.  The back is fitted with a curved T-back seam, and a side piece.    The sleeves are the 2-piece coat sleeve, with the slightly full elbow that was popular 1863-1869. Also included, are 2 styles of linen collars;  a pointed sailor or "flat" collar (pre-1864), and a pointed stand collar (1864 and later.) The collars are basted into the bodice neckline prior to wearing.

Hip 22 1/2" 23 1/2" 24 1/2" 25 1/2" 27"

It has the front of the dress in princess lines, with the back and sides having an attached skirt. The waist line is slightly above the natural waist. The skirt is very full in the center back, fitting smoothly on the sides. It has a square neckline, and a center back button closure. The sleeve is a full length 2-piece sleeve. The dress back has a belt that can be adjusted with a button to make the garment fit more closely if desired. This is a basic dress for a child, and is suitable for the years 1865-1875. It can be left plain, or worn with an apron, for a play dress. The original dress was heavily decorated with braid, as a fancier dress. This pattern is drafted using modern sizing and ease for today's comfort. Yet it retains all the historical lines and style of the period.

Our 1911 Narrow Panel Blouse is based on the Kimona Blouse style that was popular from 1909-1914. A Kimona Blouse is cut all in one, with the sleeve as part of the main body. Our Narrow Panel Blouse has the added detail of inserts at both the center front and back of the blouse. Choose either short or ¾ length sleeves.*

View A is specifically designed to be matched with our Narrow Panel Skirt - TVE30, with the center panels laying over the sides of the blouse. View B is perfect for utilizing bordered fabrics, with the center panels laying under the sides of the blouse.

There is no closure for this blouse, as it can be pulled easily on over the head. The hem length is long enough to tuck into either standard- or raised-waist skirts. It can, and should, be paired with a gimpe with long sleeves and high neck for daytime wear. It also can be worn alone for evening styles.
