1908 Summer Underthings - 1900s edwardian vintage sewing pattern - PDF to print at home - instant download

You are buying a digital, print-at-home pdf : no physical pattern will be sent.

This is a reproduction of a one-size pattern originating from the French fashion magazine “La mode illustrée”. French and English translation included.

This is an instant-download, non-refundable digital file for strictly personal use.

Pattern content :
4 undergarments included : chemise, corset-cover, drawers and nightgown.

Available printing formats :
4 formats (Letter, A4, A3 and A0) available for an edge-to-edge printing and assembly (in order to avoid the long and tedious step of trimming the margins of 50 pages !)

Number of pages for each format : 75 US Letter / 69 A4 / 35 A3 / 5 A0
Assembly layout available for each format.
Pattern pieces are grouped to allow you to print each undergarment individually !

This is a one-size pattern in the following dimensions :
Bust width : 96 cm / 37.8''
Waist width : 64cm / 25.2''

The pattern includes the following vintage information :
• Faithful reproduction of the vintage pattern with its succinct annotations
• Brief description of the costume and original fabrics
• Supplies and estimated yardage based on period accurate fabric width (my advice : make sure to review your yardage needs after fitting the pattern to your measurements)
• Very summary assembly instructions (only half a page of indications without any sketch or diagram)

Included supplementary information :
• Cutting layout for each type of fabric, to give you a better estimate of the required yardage for modern fabric widths (140 cm / 55”)
• Straight grain direction on each piece
• English translation

Advanced difficulty level :
• You must be able to fit a one-size pattern to your measurements
• You must have a general knowledge of the assembly methods suitable for the pattern’s time period
• You must be able to autonomously assemble a garment (the assembly instructions alone are not sufficient to provide an understanding of each step : many details are left to personal interpretation, given that the 1900’s readers already possessed advanced sewing skills).

As a summary : this pattern is for you if you already possess the above mentioned skills or if you want to challenge yourself and improve your sewing abilities !

If you are a beginner and don’t wish to give yourself a headache, this pattern isn’t for you.

The pattern does not include the following indications :
• No Seam allowances, seam types, finishing types, registration marks, placement of interfacing, buttonholes or closures
• No multi-size gradation
• No precise yardage requirements (as this will be dependent on your measurements)
• No detailed assembling instructions with diagrams and photographs
