This is a draft-at-home pattern for a stunning French evening/ ball gown from the 1940\'s. The gown features a lovely pointed bodice, and a pleated full length skirt ornamented with rounded over-skirt \'petals\'.This gown would be amazing for any formal occasion but would also be perfect in white as a wedding gown.Please note: if you buy this pattern with another draft-at-home pattern like this from us on , please wait before paying - we can combine your purchases for a lower price (no need to send you two sets of the same measuring bands, for example).This is a pattern from a pattern drafting system fairly similar to the Lutterloh golden rule patterns. You will be able to draft a pattern to your exact size from the miniature pattern template and specially designed rulers. To scale any of these special patterns from doll to children or adult sizes is easy. Rulers are available to draft the pattern as small as an 18\" hip to as large as a 49\" chest and the pattern will be scaled perfectly every time.
A FULL SET OF RULERS ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS PATTERN.The pattern includes basic markings and notches that show you how they fit together, and indications such as dotted lines for cutting on the fold. I have included several pages of drafting instructions that I have translated from the original French. The illustrated instructions show you how to easily draw your pattern pieces from the miniature pattern template using your special ruler. These patterns were marketed originally to both home seamstresses and professionals alike and assume that you have a basic understanding of clothing construction. The original patterns DO NOT include any sewing instructions. To sew these, you should have a basic understanding of how pattern pieces should fit together. The pattern pieces are illustrated in such a way that you can see how they are supposed to be sewn to each other.DIFFICULTY LEVEL: These patterns might be a bit difficult for the beginner but an intermediate level home seamstress will most likely have little trouble.What you will need to draft your pattern:
Paper (I use large tracing paper but butcher paper, muslin fabric, wrapping paper etc all work great!)
Pencil
Fabric: this pattern requires approximately 8 meters (about 8 3/4 yards).
It\'s that simple! No special tools are required!If French is your first language and you would prefer a copy of the instructions in French instead, please let me know. I would be happy to send that too!
