1911 Girl's Fancy Dress (10 to 12 year old)

28/9/2020

0 Comments

 
This lovely little dress was originally made as a custom commission for a client, who chose this design from several I had available from 1911 and 1912.  The dress sample shown in the photos was made from a lavender-grey striped silk broadcloth, with ivory silk shantung "bib", skirt overlays and cuffs.  The pretty collarette was hand-pleated, made of fine, semi-sheer cotton batiste.  
This design is available as a sewing pattern (#1911-C-001) -- you can find it in my Etsy shop by clicking on the blue button below.  It is a project for a reasonably experienced sewist, with good intermediate skills, but the pattern does include my step-by-step written instructions to guide you through construction.  This dress can be made in a variety of fabrics and arrangements -- it would look just as pretty in striped cotton or linen with solid-coloured cotton or linen contrast sections, or even in fine, lightweight wool for winter.  In all-white or off-white, it would make a perfect flower-girl's dress for an Edwardian themed wedding!
Purchase the sewing pattern here (#1911-C-001):
