1898 Woman's Dressing Gown

One Size Only- Size 37" Bust.

Waist adjustable because the front is not fitted, but most likely originally for 26" waist.

A beautiful and detailed dressing gown or tea gown from 1898. This would be worn around the house, for getting dressed, or for breakfast. If made in fancier fabrics it would be suitable for a tea gown. Since the front waist is unfitted this can be worn for regular wear or for maternity wear.
This pattern is color blocked in the original period illustration. To do this you must make the gown by mounting a fabric and contrast fabric together. The join is covered by a ruffle. There are not separate pieces included for the color blocking, but there is a line indicated on the pattern for where to cut. You could also make this from a single fabric with no color blocking.

**Please note this pattern has no collar or jabot included. You will need to supplement a collar and jabot.**

The sample is shown in 1/3 scale, however, this is for a FULL SIZE HUMAN pattern!

- - About Archive Couture Patterns - -
Archive Couture patterns are of Advanced Difficulty and recommended for those who are familiar with putting patterns together with little to no instruction, and who are familiar with pattern alterations for fit. These patterns are have been taken from original historical source materials. These sources may include diagrams, overlapping patterns in magazine issues, early tissue paper patterns, or other period source material. The source material was used by experienced home sewists, dressmakers, or tailors of the period from which they are derived. These patterns were only available only in single sizes, with details such as grain lines or buttonholes most often unmarked. Wearing History has clarified markings (where given) and supplied tips for working with these historical patterns. You may choose to have a modern or period sewing book on hand to help with construction and fitting. Archive Couture patterns follow the period shapes of the original period source material, maintaining the historical accuracy and fit of the completed garment. Fitting a muslin mockup is strongly recommended, as all garments were meant to be worn over period foundation garments or corsetry. Fit and proportion of these patterns are different than modern costume patterns and may require alteration to fit your modern body, even when wearing period style foundations. Several mock ups may be required to achieve ideal fit. We believe these patterns should not be lost to time or languish in historical archives, but be made available for historical sewing enthusiasts of today.

The cutest earrings I've seen in a while.
Color: 07.Jul, Color: 07.Jul
We were so happy to get these beautiful and cute silver stud butterfly earrings. The colored CZ let us customize the color to personal preference, which let us pick the perfect option. I really like the silver setting. It is quite well done, and looks far more premium and higher quality than the low price would lead you to believe. One thing I really like about these earrings is the size. These ended up being the perfect size, and made for a very cute look. I honestly think these might become the new daily-wear earrings. They look fantastic. Included are the earrings, a pouch, and two styles of backing. Both backing options were very easy to use, and held the earrings securely. The stud was of good quality, and plated in silver along the whole stud. It is difficult to tell for sure, but this seems like the plating was well done. I think these should hold up well over time. The studs are a little on the long side, but no discomfort was had wearing them. Honestly, I thought it made it easier to put them on. Though, they might not be a good one to wear sleeping or something. It is easy to recommend these super cute earrings. They will be worn frequently, come in a variety of colors, and are well made. I am very happy with them.

These are very pretty. The perfect size for any age ear. Really girly. They don't hurt the ears and they are not too heavy. Nice and light.

These little butterfly Earrings are the perfect touch of personality for your ears. I got these for a friend's birthday and she's worn them every day since. When I picked these up, they were advertised as sterling silver which was a necessity for her ears. She hasnt had any issues and she hasn't had to take them out at all. The clasps are your average butterfly backing. And she did note that the back came off during sleep one night but it could be she is a hard sleeper. Other than that, they are secure. They are larger studs. Not awful large or gaudy. But people have noticed and complimented on them. They add that perfect touch of whimsy without exclaiming give me attention. Perfect to dress up or down and birthstones match anything after all!

Cute little butterflies!
Color: 10.Oct(Pink Tourmaline), Color: 10.Oct(Pink Tourmaline)
I got these for my daughter who just recently got her ears pierced for the first time. Since she is so young, I decided to try them first to see how well they handle. First, I was very impressed that they included plastic and metal backs. There’s also a nice little baggie to put the earrings in when they’re not in use. Second, my ears are very sensitive, which was a concern with wearing these, but after a few hours, they seemed to be fine still. Usually, after a few hours, I have to take earrings out. I could have worn these for longer and been OK. Last they are super cute! They match the description and color perfectly! I was very impressed. I could definitely see myself buying another pair. The earrings were also very good size not too big and not too small. Perfect for adult or child.
