1865 Summer Bodice Sewing Pattern - INSTANT DOWNLOAD PDF

This listing is for a PDF Sewing Pattern for a Summer Bodice (with attached simulated fichu), made from an original 1865 La Mode Illustrée pattern.

Designed by Madame Bréant-Castel, Rue Sainte-Ann, 58 Bis

There is no included pattern piece or measurements for the bubbled over-sleeve, it is described as a straight piece of fabric - you will need to drape/draft the width and length according to your own requirements.

The PDF Pattern (A50604 13) has been copied as published in 1865 using a CAD program and will print out FULL SIZE pattern pieces as a PDF of 7 A4 or 8 letter pages using an ordinary printer or 1 A0 page

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

Expert 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
