--- DESCRIPTION ---

A Wearing History Resto-Vival™ pattern based on an original historical pattern from the late 1930s.

This iconic 1930s evening gown or day dress features clever gathers at center front and gathers at side bust that are created by having the shoulder straps go through a casing. This dress slightly empire-waisted and the skirt gives a bias-effect but is actually cut on the straight of grain! Includes matching bolero jacket with short puffed sleeves and a cuff.

**Please note this is a full HUMAN SIZE sewing pattern and not a doll pattern. The sample is just sewn in small scale. Read sizing included below**

--About Wearing History Resto-Vival™ Patterns--

Resto-Vival™ Patterns are original historic patterns that have been restored and revived. Original patterns are usually available only in single sizes, precut from tissue paper and totally unprinted, with details like grainlines and darts indicated only by small perforations. Resto-Vival™ patterns are clearly marked with drawn and labeled markings. These markings aid the modern sewer in understanding the markings of the original pattern and the construction of the garment. Resto-Vival™ patterns follow the period shapes of the original patterns, maintaining the historical accuracy of the completed garment. Original period instructions are included. These instructions are text only (unless otherwise noted) and fairly minimal, especially compared to instructions for modern patterns. At least an intermediate knowledge of dressmaking and a good familiarity with pattern construction is suggested. You may choose to have a modern or period sewing book handy to help with basic construction methods that the pattern instructions do not cover in detail. Also, fitting a muslin mockup is strongly recommended, as all garments were meant to be worn over period foundation garments or corsetry.
