As is typical of patterns from La Mode Illustree during this era, there were no sizes given but they were cut quite small. The sample garment made up as a tight 34 inch bust. This jacket, known as a Robe de Voyage (or Traveling Jacket) shows high style in the late Victorian/Belle Epoque era. This pattern was published in La Mode Illustree, May 5, 1895. Jacket has very full pleated (leg o' mutton) sleeves with long narrow cuffs and high standing collar. The front jacket trim is more decorative as the jacket is meant to secure at front center under the trim. Front opening stops at the waist so the very full hem wings open. The skirted portion of the hem is quite dramatic with it's wide sweep. The design is especially showcased using stripes - Becci made the red version omitting the front trim and it also looks pretty spectacular. SUGGESTED MATERIALS: Linen, Light woolens, Silk, Broadcloth, Pique. Materials For Size Shown: 45 Inch Wide Material - With or Without Nap 2 Yards 54 Inch Wide Material - With Or Without Nap 1-7/8 Yards This La Mode Illustree pattern was originally created by Dec. 30, 1900 and has been re-digitized into it's current format. All content falls under the copyright www.BeespokeVintagePatterns.com 2020, and as such, no portion of this pattern may be photocopied or reproduced by any means without written consent. IMPORTANT NOTE: The source material from which these early patterns are replicated contain much less information than the more modern patterns from the 1920's and 1930's. Patterns and fashion journals published during these eras presumed that the home seamstress possessed sufficient skills to construct a garment without detailed directions. As a result, patterns for facings, linings and other details - such as instructions on how to create trims, are sketchy at best -- and usually non-existent. Be aware that all of these patterns run small compared to our modern bodies, and were drafted with the understanding that "proper" undergarments and corsets would be worn underneath. Armholes especially tend to be much tighter and smaller than modern garments. It is very important when sewing these items to make a fitting mock-up of the pattern out of muslin or other waste fabric, and make all of the adjustments for your individual figure on the mock-up. Our patterns include seam allowances, grain lines and updated text for ease of construction. Patterns are reproduced directly from the original source material, with no changes in order to retain the historical accuracy of the pattern. Prior sewing experience and knowledge of working with vintage patterns is recommended. , then and under your receipt, . 893440773
