Combination underwear fashion illustration

Suitable for the 1910's through the Early 1920's and your WWI era impressions.

 

This pattern is a "Resto-Vival" pattern from the 1910s.  

 What to Expect From This Pattern:

For intermediate difficulty, this pattern has the period original, written sewing instructions which are very minimal and text only.

This pattern was transcribed from the period original and has not been tested for fit or construction.

I have supplemented with my written translation of the period instructions.  There are two main pieces, and you should be familiar with basic construction and techniques like how to attach a bias facing and a casing to make this pattern.  The button placket is the most difficult technique, I suggest having a sewing book handy to aid you.  There are three pages of instruction which are included on the main pattern sheet which you can cut apart and keep in the envelope- one page is of the original cover and instruction, and two pages of my supplemented instruction translation are included.  No illustrations are included for instructions and a layout cutting guide is included for only size 36" bust.

 

SIZING:

Includes Bust Sizes 32" to 46", all in the same pattern.

No waist size was originally indicated.  Original pattern this was based on was a 44" bust.
