1860s-Inspired Day Dress PDF Sewing Pattern
Prepared after purchase. Digital delivery within 1 business day. This $25 USD order covers preparation of the design below. Files are not available for instant download. No physical item or printed pattern is shipped.
A fitted bodice above a very full skirt would define this 1860s-inspired day dress. The proposed construction includes a front fastening, a high neckline and separate sleeves. Skirt volume would be planned around the chosen underlayers. It is a costume interpretation, not a documented Civil War-era reproduction.
A stable woven fabric could make the bodice structure easier to assess in a first sample. Skirt weight and any separately sourced petticoat or support must be considered before the waist join is finalised. Sewing would focus on distributing fullness, supporting the waist seam and balancing the bodice over the underlayers.
