19th CENTURY PINAFORES

 Our pattern is for a simple smock style pinafore, that was worn throughout the 1800’s. The pinafore fastens at the back with three buttons.   This style can be left plain or with the additions of ruffles and trims can be “fancied up.”  A sash style belt is also included. Instructions are also included for two methods of construction:  Period bias facing and a modern facing method.

GIRL'S GATHERED BODY (GUIMPE) 

This pattern is for a wonderful easy to make and fit blouse called a “guimpe”.  These bodies or as we know them today blouses appeared in all the fashion magazines of the Era.  They were worn under all types of garments, from open-necked dresses to Swiss Bodies, vests and the Zonal waists and Brettelles (braces) that were so popular with the young people.  Mothers liked them, because it was much easier to wash a blouse than to launder a whole dress. 
 

This pattern is for a lined Zouave jacket that fastens at the neckline and curves along the front.  There are two styles of back; a straight cut, (which is the imitation of the Algerian Zouave uniform back) and a slightly pointed style (which appeared slightly later).  I have included two styles of sleeve for this jacket, a wider pagoda style and a slimmer coat style.

BOY'S TROUSERS 

This pattern is for button fly trousers that were worn for most of the 19^th century.  There are two options for the back of the trouser:  the standard straight “civilian” back and the placket insert style back that is similar to the military pants. There are two styles of waistband available as well. The standard one-piece style and the two-piece style with the eyelets in the back, which allows for growth in the trousers at the waist.

BOY'S VEST 

This pattern is for three styles of vest:  a military style (replicating that of the soldiers), a high button vest and a V-necked mid-height vest. Optional welt pockets can be added, if desired.    The back of the vest is straight across and designed to come even with the waistband of the trousers.  The vest can be adjusted using a buckle and belt in the back, so it can be made with room for growth.  Depending on the fabric   chosen this style of vest would have been worn from the early 50’s through the early 1900’s.

BOY'S SACK COAT

     By definition a sack coat is a “loose fitting jacket or short coat without a waist seam”. (From A Dictionary of Costume and Fashion, Mary Brooks Picken)   

     During the Civil War, boys liked to dress in uniforms as a show of patriotism. The military version of this sack coat allows mothers to make a jacket, just like the soldiers.  For civilian purpose, the same jacket can be made without the inside pocket. Many CDV’s exist showing young lads dressed in sack coats.  Some were of coarser material and meant for work clothing, others were of a finer weight wool and meant for casual dress. This pattern is for a basic unlined sack coat, that can be made in either the military or a civilian style.  The design is based on the basic sack coat used by the soldiers , as described above and shown in the CDV’s.
 

This pattern is for a simple yoked chemise suitable for a child up to the age of 6.  It is done on the raglan sleeve style which makes it very comfortable for the children to wear.  As children grow very fast, Mom’s would often make their garments too big and use growth tucks to reduce the length until it was needed.   Suggestions are included for several methods of finishing the hemline.

GIRL'S CHEMISE

This pattern is for a yoked chemise suitable for a girl and teen.  It has capped sleeves like the adult versions.  Placement of the gathers allows for development of the bust line.    As children grow very fast, Mom’s would often make their garments too big and use growth tucks to reduce the length until it was needed.   Suggestions are included for several methods of finishing the hemline and the yoke.

CHILD'S DRAWERS

This pattern is for drawers for young children up to the age of 6.  Both boys and girls wore drawers.  Unlike the drawers of the older children and adults, these drawers have a sewn crotch.  This pattern is suitable for both boys and girls. (Optional fly opening for the little fellows is included).   The pattern is for a waistband that buttons at both sides, but instructions are included for a drawstring or an elastic casing.  Suggestions are given for several methods of finishing off the lower edges of your drawers.

 This pattern is for drawers or pantalets, as they were also called, for a girl from age 7 to the teens.  The pattern is for split-crotched drawers but the seam can be closed if you choose. The waistband is fastened using a drawstring and casing but it can be replaced with a fitted waistband, if desired.  Several trim options are included for the lower edge of your drawers.  A TRIM TRICK is included which makes these trim options very easy to do.
