1865 Riding Habit (Bodice Only) Sewing Pattern - INSTANT DOWNLOAD PDF

This listing is for a PDF Sewing Pattern for a Riding Habit (bodice only), made from an original 1865 La Mode Illustrée pattern. This pattern can also be used for an autumn or winter bodice.

The PDF Pattern for the bodice (A50718 1) has been copied exactly as published in 1865 using a CAD program and will print out FULL SIZE pattern pieces as a PDF of 13 A4 or Letter pages using an ordinary printer or one AO page.

After unzipping the folder, choose the file to print according to your paper size by selecting either the 'A4', 'Letter' or 'A0' PDF after the pattern name

A separate file for the Pattern Instructions in FRENCH as published in 1865 is also supplied with an internet translation to English.

Some knowledge of sewing garments will be required, as the original pattern does not include seam allowances, and gives only basic instructions for the garment construction.
