This is a DIGITAL sewing pattern for a Victorian day bodice of the early bustle period from 1869 to 1875.

The bodice is designed after extant garments of the early 1870´s with a high waist and a slopping shoulder line. All seams and darts will be boned. A waistband ensures a tight fit at the back, preventing the bodice from sliding up. Sleeves of the early bustle era are different compared to modern ones, wider and a bit baggy at the elbow. The sleeve in this pattern is narrower than usual that time. Top and undersleeves are cut the same shape and are inserted smoothly to a piped armhole, spreading the excess width evenly at the shoulder. A watch pocket is attached to the left front peplum.
The bodice can be sewn closed up with a narrow collar or with a squared neckline, as well as with a (reversible) front inlay.
The bodice will be decorated matching the basic skirt and apron with fringe, lace and braids.
Without the peplum at the front and a belt at the waist, the bodice would work for the late 1860´s as well.

Fits perfectly with:
#0115 Basic skirt
#0415 Asymmetric overskirt

Fitted to be worn over a corset and bustle.

Also suitable for steampunk costumes.

Je recommande ce site. Les patrons sont bien taillés, explications simples et bien illustrées.
Vaste choix de modèle et pour la reconstitution, c'est une bonne aide
