This is a sewing pattern for an Edwardian Day Bodice worn from 1900 to 1905 with a back and front closure.
This sewing pattern shows an Edwardian day bodice, based on an extant garment from around 1905. The original bodice closes with hooks and eyes along the center back, an alternative front closing version is given in the instructions.
The bodice is fitted to be worn over a straight front corset and is attached to the skirt with hooks and eyes at the waistband, to hold the skirt securely in place.
This bodice pairs perfectly with patterns 0916 and 0414 (skirts) and 1015 (corset).

The sewing pattern is also suitable for steampunk costumes.
