Description

Directoire Revival Fashions 1888-1889 incorporates patterns for a whole middle-class Victorian woman’s wardrobe, from undergarments, through multi-part ensembles, to outerwear. The patterns are to be enlarged with apportioning scales–special rulers that enable dressmakers to simply create custom sizes, from queen size to doll size. Printed apportioning scales and instructions are included.

Every pattern is accompanied by a fashion illustration and instructions. The patterns are drawn from The Voice of Fashion and The National Garment Cutter. Because these patterns are highly very similar to the ones published by Butterick, such a lot are supplemented by illustrations and construction information from Butterick’s Delineator. Readers can use the Delineator subject material to alter The Voice of Fashion styles by substituting parts from other patterns in the similar book, or by altering them with minimal flat pattern work. Separate chapters contain instructions for trimmings, neckwear, and hats.
