1861 Revere Bodice Sewing Pattern by Truly Victorian
The illustration for the Revere bodice is taken from the August 23, 1861 issue of Der Bazar magazine. It is named for the French term which describes the fold-over lapel at the neckline, the folds at the center back below the waist, and at the outside of the sleeves. It is very much like a jacket and can be worn over a full blouse like TV441 Garibaldi Blouse, or a chemisette and undersleeves. Made of wool or heavy fabrics, it is a nice winter style, or made of light cottons or silks, it can work for summer styles as well. The bodice has the wide two-piece sleeve common to the early 1860s. It is based on the standard 3-piece bodice, with 2 darts at the front, and a curved side back seam. The front and side are also fitted with a "fish seam" at the waistline, to help smooth the fit over the hips.
This is a multi-sized pattern which includes bust sizes 30-56 and waist sizes 22-48 in one package. Please see back cover photo for sizing chart, fabric and notion requirements.
