This is a DIGITAL sewing pattern based on an extant dress from about 1840.

The dress is based on an extant day dress from the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and dated from 1837 to 1840, made of a floral printed challis.
The dress features some typical details of the time period, like a wide and rounded neckline, contrasting piped seams and the wide sleeves pleated to fit round of the top of the arm and held in place by two piped bands of fabric, cut on the bias. At the wrist, the excess width of the over-length sleeve is gathered to fit a narrow cuff.
The fashion fabric of the bodice is mounted on a tight fitting lining bodice from a polished cotton fabric. The front panel from the fashion fabric is divided at the center front and stitched together again with a piped seam. The neckline is decorated with a ruffle, cut on the bias and the loose edge neatened with the same silk ribbon as used for the piping. The bodice closes at the center back with hooks and eyes.
The skirt is made from several widths of fabric. At the front and side portion of the bodice, the skirt is laid into regular knife pleats, the remaining width of the skirt is gathered to fit the smaller back portion of the bodice. If wanted, the gathering can be replaced by small, rolled pleats or cartridge pleating.

This dress should be worn with a matching corset and petticoat.

Soft and cool and comfortable!
Color: 02 - Linen, Size: Queen
These are the best cotton sheets I’ve ever had. They are more than large enough for my very deep queen mattress and the extra straps they have on the corners are helpful too. They are so comfortable to sleep in. I’m a very hot sleeper but these sheets stay nice and cool and don’t smother me like other sheets do. I really love them, so much I bought a second set already because you can’t beat that price for 100% cotton.

Best sheets I've ever bought.
Color: 03 - Olive Green, Size: King
Love the color. Love the feel. Texture is "crisp" but it still very soft and comfortable. Have not had to retuck my corners even once since I put them on even though we move around constantly at night. Old sheets had to be retucked on the corners every night. Just feel like a quality sheet overall. Little pricey, but worth it for the level you're getting. I do wish the came in more dark colors. I have the green and would love a burgundy.

Best sheets ever!
Color: 01 - Ivory, Size: Queen
These are the softest sheets I have found for a great price! The added corner straps are super for my adjustable bed! I highly recommend these sheets. Deep pocket corners allow for my foam topper too. I'm definitely going to buy more of these!

Great Organic Choice!
Color: 01 - Ivory, Size: Queen
These sheets are great, soft and the perfect amount of thickness! They are roomy and fit around my deep mattress. They will be a bit wrinkly out of the dryer, but they are cotton sheets so that is to be expected. Hoping they don’t shrink like other organic sheets I have had in the past. My only complaint is I wish they had more colors!

Feels a bit synthetic
Color: 01 - Ivory, Size: Queen
I liked it, it’s not the softest but it’s soft, it feels silky as well but don’t know why is that not sure if it’s algodon mixed with plastic? Don’t know, when I touched it the first time I had the same sensation I get when I touch something that’s too synthetic. Still it’s soft and I want to trust that’s really organic and without harmful materials
