DRESSES:

TSD-301
TWO TIERED TEA DRESS

The Two-Tiered Tea Dress is a combination of a modified V-necked bodice with tiered pagoda sleeves and a two-tiered skirt. The bodice has “revers” or lapels at the neck. The bodice is fitted to the body using vertical pleats from the shoulders to the waist. The trim on the sleeves is repeated at the tiers on the skirt to give the combination an “ensemble” look.
 This is a style that would have been worn by  women of all ages, with the older women using darker colors and little or no trim.

TSD-302
GIRL'S / TEEN PARTY DRESS

Sizing up from a 26” bust, this dress is designed to grow with your young lady. The bodice has a wide, slightly gathered, neckline, which can be adjusted as the girl develops. The skirt is designed in tiers, allowing for lengthening and additions as required. For younger girls the two-tiered option works well. The skirt has a drawstring back, hidden under the Medici belt, which allows for waist increases.

DAY WRAPPER   

     This pattern is for a wrapper that can be made to look like a dress.  The fabric is pleated into the shoulder and when arranged with the belt the dress looks like the fan-front styling of the late 1850’s.  Beadle’s Dime Guide describes this styling… “when the fronts are in one piece, they must be set on full at the shoulders; and the fullness is better put in plaits than gathers.  The folds should be made downward towards the shoulder, on each side.”  The front of this wrapper can be arranged in such a way as it is almost impossible to tell it from a regular dress.

TSD-304
MORNING WRAPPER

This pattern is for a morning wrapper, more for “at home” wear than to go out in public.   The wrapper features a wide front that allows for many trim options and a fitted back.  The wrapper opens completely down the front, so can be left unbuttoned on the skirt to show a pretty petticoat if desired.  The wrapper is styled in the mid-century design of dropped shoulders and seams towards the back, but can certainly be used into the 1870’s.  The pattern includes pagoda sleeves and the option of a two styles of self-fabric collars.  Wrappers are one of the few 19^th century garments that utilized fabric collars.  Instructions for pockets are also included.

This garment is a simple, easy to construct, dress worn by infants and toddlers up to about the age of four.   The dress is based on the simple chemise worn by women in the 17^7h and 18^th centuries, and thus is sometimes called a “chemise” gown. The shoulder straps allow for easy fitting of the garment, without the need for a true armhole. The gathered bodice front and back allowes plenty of room for expansion.
  This gown is also know as a “Boone Frock”.  Named because there is an existing garment worn by a relative of Daniel Boone.
