1871 Bustle Era Victorian Day Bodice by Truly Victorian
This bodice is high necked for day wear or can be cut into a square neck for evening
events. The front can be either straight across or rounded in front and a pleated peplum
falls in the back. This style is particularly suited to the early 1870's, but will work
well for any bustle era. The fitted sleeve is in 2 pieces, and can be made either full- or
¾-length. The bodice is drafted based on a tailoring method actually used in the 1870's.
Each size is hand drawn, not scaled. All of the bodice seams are true to the era, and it
is designed to fit snugly over a corset.This is a heavy paper pattern with 7 pieces.
The instructions seem easy to follow, and are well illustrated. There are instructions for
sizing your pattern to fit just right for you. There is also of page of trimming
suggestions.
This is a multi-sized pattern which includes bust sizes 30-50 and waist sizes 22-42 in
one package. Please see size chart in back cover photo at left.
