---  DESCRIPTION  ---

~  Advanced/Expert Difficulty ~ These patterns are from antique originals and have only the original period instructions.  Some experimentation may be required.  Please read the page supplied in images for more about this project.  You may click on it to enlarge.

This pattern originally appeared in McCall's Magazine in the year 1916.  This skirt was shown for afternoon wear, evening wear, and even as a bridal gown.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE A MOCK UP TO TEST PATTERN FIT AND CONSTRUCTION BEFORE CUTTING INTO YOUR FASHION FABRIC.
The sewing instructions do not specify closures and do not give modern fabric requirements or yardage charts.  You may need to have period sewing books handy to help with construction (link given to an index of free sewing books available for US residents).

- - WHAT IS INCLUDED WITH THIS PATTERN - -

--- A clean, computer drawn pattern of the basic pattern shapes needed to create the garment illustrated.

These are mostly text and do not include finishing, fasteners, or lining instructions.  See image in the listing for the entirety of the antique instructions.  No separate instruction insert was originally included with this pattern (they are not missing, they just were just not provided by this maker in this period).  
--- Typed text of the front and back information for reading clarity (those old covers could have tiny text, so we find this easier to read).

--- You must be familiar with how to put a garment together using pattern shapes and garment illustration.
--- This pattern has had some minor adjustments. It also has labeling on the pieces, where they were originally just punched holes.
