1914 Afternoon Dress Pattern
[1914AD] by Sense & Sensibility Patterns

This 1914 Afternoon Dress was inspired by an original design in a 1914 home economics textbook. Sizes 6-26 "DD" are all included in one envelope. Several sleeve styles are included (set-in or puffed; wrist- or elbow-length; cuffs or plain). The pattern also includes instructions for lace insertion, and appendix includes traceable embroidery designs. You can also use the pattern to create a simple shift-style underdress. All instructions included! A special bodice option just for nursing mums with a secret front nursing panel is included. Important Note: Because this pattern was drafted from an original 1914 design, it is created to be worn over a corseted form. If you do not wear a corset with the dress, it is recommended that you cut the bodice two sizes larger than what your bustline measurement calls for; that will give you the needed modern "ease" to wear the dress comfortably without a corset! Complete with illustrated instructions and packaged in a printed envelope.
