Description: Past Pattern #701 Late 1850s Pleated Bodice pattern is an original Past Patterns designFACTORY FOLDED ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Pleated Bodice Pattern was copied from an original garment with the consent of the Human Environment Department at Michigan State University. The unusual feature of these bodices is the armhole shape. The armhole slopes 3” off the shoulder, in the original size, consequently the sleeves have little or no cap. The bodices close left over right, what we would consider masculine today. The bodice pattern was drafted using an 1864 drafting system, patented by a woman, and constructed like the originals. The lady in the yellow dress is wearing a loose-fitting bodice with bishop sleeves. The front closes with covered buttons that match the ribbon trim on the cuffs and flounce and gloves. The bodice is fitted into a waistband with gathering or pleating. The original fabric is an open weave, light weight, silk and cotton. The lady in the plaid dress wears the same bodice but has chosen a fitted bodice with a one piece peg-top sleeve. The front of her bodice fastens with hooks and eyes. The bodice is fitted into a waistband with gathering or pleating. The original fabric is a light weight, soft wool. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ FABRICS: The original View A is an embroidered silk barege.
