See photos for more information --- DESCRIPTION ---This pattern is a Resto-Vival pattern from the 1910s. This pattern includes two combination options. You can make a corset cover and split drawers, or a corset cover and combinations. With a little creativity this same pattern can be used to make a corset cover alone or a petticoat alone. This pattern was designed to be cut from border embroidered fabrics. Align the neckline edge and the hem of the drawers with embroidered flouncing for a beautiful look! The petticoat is semi-circular and not suitable for border embroidery. It can also be made from plain fabrics and embellished however you desire. --- ADVANCED DIFFICULTY --- For advanced difficulty, this pattern has the period original, written sewing instructions which are very minimal and text only. The sewing instructions do not include details about finishing or in-depth construction. This pattern was transcribed from the period original and retains authentic period original pattern lines and fit. I have supplemented with my written translation of the period instructions. Advanced knowledge is recommended. You may want a sewing book handy to help with tricky parts. A BONUS is included- scans of a 1916 sewing book in my archives that describes sewing a corset cover, drawers, and petticoat. SIZING: Includes Bust Sizes 32 to 48, all in the same pattern. No waist size was originally indicated. We estimate the waist sizes to be 22-38. YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE A MOCK UP. This is based on misses sizing. Grading was tricky for this pattern, as it was cut along a border. You will most likely need adjustments, especially if you are in the upper sizes. This was based on a size 36 bust period original. --- 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.
