1895 Robe de Voyage (Traveling Jacket) – La Mode Illustrée Reproduction Pattern

This replicated pattern is sized to fit a 32–34 inch bust. Like most patterns from La Mode Illustrée during this era, no sizes were listed—but they were often cut quite small. The sample garment was a snug 34-inch bust fit.

Known as a Robe de Voyage (or Traveling Jacket), this design showcases high style from the late Victorian / Belle Époque period. Originally published in La Mode Illustrée, May 5, 1895.

DESIGN FEATURES

Very full pleated (leg o' mutton) sleeves with long narrow cuffs
High standing collar
Front trim is decorative—jacket closes at center front under the trim
Front opening ends at the waist, allowing the full skirted hem to sweep open dramatically
Looks especially striking in striped fabric
Becci’s sample in red (without the trim) looked spectacular too!

SUGGESTED FABRICS

Linen
Light Woolens
Silk
Broadcloth
Pique

YARDAGE REQUIREMENTS (for size shown)

45" wide material (with or without nap) – 2 yards
54" wide material (with or without nap) – 1 7/8 yards

IMPORTANT NOTE

The source material from which this pattern was reproduced contains far less detail than more modern patterns from the 1920s and 1930s.

These fashion journals presumed that home seamstresses already knew how to:

Construct garments without step-by-step instructions
Create facings, linings, or trims without templates

Please Note:

Patterns from this era run small compared to modern sizes.
Drafted assuming "proper" undergarments and corsetry are worn.
Armholes are especially tight compared to modern garments.
It is highly recommended to make a mock-up (toile) in muslin or other scrap fabric to make all adjustments before cutting your final fabric.

This pattern has been reproduced exactly from the original for historical accuracy, with no alterations. Prior sewing experience and comfort working with vintage patterns is recommended.

🧵 Please note: This is not a finished garment, and original documentation and pattern instructions are NOT included.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND

This is an exact copy of the original vintage pattern and may include any original formatting errors or miscalculations. While I have made up some of these patterns myself, I have not tested them all and cannot guarantee perfect accuracy or fit.

Always make a mock-up for fitting before working with your final fashion fabric.
