#24.1

The 1910s dressing jacket pattern is now up!

Here are two tester makes of the unaltered pattern - Jean Sando (in the dark blue) has a 48" bust and 43" waist, and Rebecca (@/rebecca.pocket.full.of.poseys, light blue) has a 54" bust and 50" waist.

Testers commented that the waist is pretty high (makes sense, since this is c.1910) so anyone making this should check the height and consider lowering the back pleating & belt attachment point if needed.

[The original garment is an antique size 52 - the max bust is 60.5” (154cm) & max waist is 56.25” (143cm), but there's supposed to be a bunch of ease so the suggested wearer bust is 52” (132cm) and waist 42.5” (108cm).]

Next up: tester slots open for this c. 1910 dressing jacket pattern!

Antique size 52 - the max bust is 60.5” (154cm) & max waist is 56.25” (143cm), but there's supposed to be a bunch of ease so the suggested wearer bust is 52” (132cm) and waist 42.5” (108cm).

...I know I made this blue and the OG garments seems brown, but I swear it reads as quite blue in person. The striping is blue and the flowers are white, so the brown ground fades away.

This was a really exciting recent find - a factory-made garment with the size label intact!
