Edwardian Bridal Gown and Afternoon Dress, Folkwear Pattern 227

Edwardian Bridal Gown and Afternoon Dress, Folkwear Pattern 227. Folkwear, San Rafael, CA, 1984. Misses Size: 6 to 16 (B30-1/2 to 38, W23 to 30, H 32-1/2 to 40). Patterns like new. Envelope has taped tears. 14 pattern pieces. A composite of several originals, this gown captures the essential elements of Edwardian charm: the high neck, puffed sleeves, nipped-in waist, a sumptuously full sweep of skirt, and as much lacy detail as the eye can behold. All views feature bodice and hip yokes that descent into long panels in the front that end at waist and hem. The bodice fullness is softly gathered into the yokes and a full circle skirt falls from the hip. The sleeves, while full and puffed at the cap, are snug-fitting below the elbow. The center-back opening may be fastened with hooks and eyes, buttons, or a zipper. Description text copyright 2011 www.comfortkraft.com. Item ID 63257.
