Featuring a closely fitted bodice, the design is shaped with a buttoned front lining, a princess-seamed back, and pleats at the centre front and back, secured with waist ties. A square collar and rounded yokes with optional ruffles add to the historical charm. The full sleeves are gathered at the shoulder and finished with buttoned cuffs, while the skirt is fitted over the hips and flows into a wide ankle-length flounce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor versatility, the pattern can also be made at street length for a contemporary look or as a blouse. Suitable for both day and evening wear, it works beautifully in challis, crisp silk, and traditional cotton calico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003elightweight cotton and blends, silk, lightweight wools, and rayon.
