1880 Dinner Bodice by Truly Victorian
This style is particularly suited to 1878-1882 (Natural Form), and is perfect for dinner
and evening events. The neckline is high at the neck in back, and cut in a low diamond in
front. A small half collar is optional. The bodice is cuirass length in front and has a
long square "tail" in back. The fitted sleeve is in 2 pieces, and can be made
either full or 3/4 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, without a bustle.
This is a heavy paper pattern with 7 pieces. The instructions seem easy to follow, with
some illustrations. There are instructions for sizing your pattern to fit just right for
you. There is also a page with trim 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.
