This is a DIGITAL sewing pattern for evening dresses about 1830.

Both evening dresses are based on extant dresses and fashion plates of the romantic period around 1830.
This sewing pattern contains two bodice options, one with a rounded, the other with a V-shaped neckline and two different sleeve types. Bodices and sleeves can be exchanged with each other as desired. Both bodices will be closed along the center back with hooks and eyes.

View #1 is all made from the same fabric, with the pleated bertha from the same fabric attached to the finished bodice along the rounded neckline.

View #2 has with contrasting stripes, sewn to the lining along a V-shaped neckline, as well as contrasting piping accents.

My sewing pattern #0417 (1830´s Underwear including chemise, corset, corded petticoat and sleeve puffs) provides the required underpinnings. The dresses are fitted to be worn over a corset.

Also suitable for cosplay or steampunk costumes.
