1880s Polonaise and Walking Skirt. This delicate, doll-like ensemble is made of fine white batiste, Valenciennes lace and silk ribbon. An open square neck is an option worn in the afternoon or evening. The skirt is a gored underskirt of unbleached muslin with a white batiste ruffle overlay. The bustle is created at the hips by the drapery.
This pattern is multi-sized 10 through 20. All the sizes are in one package. All sizes require 4 1/4 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric for the tunic and skirt ruffles.
If this dress is made of a printed cotton consider using reproduction calico.
