About the pattern
"Le Petit Jupon" is based on the study of extant garments and historical pattern diagrams from reference works such as those by Norah Waugh and Janet Arnold.
For ease of use, pleat placement is indicated directly on the pattern for each size.
A 15 mm seam allowance is included.

Standard sizes included: EU 32 to 56.

Important note on historical accuracy
This pattern is histo-compatible and may be used for historical reenactment, provided that appropriate fabrics and construction techniques are used.
However, the construction method presented in the instructions is modern: assembly is mostly done by sewing machine for faster construction, while visible finishes are completed by hand.
Each maker is free to adapt materials and techniques according to their own knowledge and creativity.

Skill level
This pattern is suitable for beginner sewists.

Required materials
Exact quantities are indicated on the pattern.

Required fabric yardage: between 2 m and 3 m (or more), depending on the desired petticoat length and the amount of decoration you wish to add.
