Although a 24 inch waist may fit some adults, the sizing is noted for a teen because the length of skirt is approximately 31 inches. An adult would need a much longer skirt. This 1897 reproduction sewing pattern features a simple five gored skirt with fullness that flares out the back into a graceful, flowing form. Directions call for gathering the back but pleating would be correct as well. Skirt has an attached waistband and back closure. Although this is sized small, adjustments may be made to widen and lengthen quite nicely for a slightly larger fit. Patchwork sample is an original sewn by @kaiceyscostumes - isn't it lovely?! Pattern recommends 3-3/4 Yards of 44 inch wide material. This Cosmopolitan pattern was originally created by Dec. 30, 1909 and has been re-digitized into it's current format.

IMPORTANT NOTE: SOLID UNDERSTANDING OF VINTAGE GARMENT CONSTRUCTION IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. 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. Most of the time sizes and yardage information is also unavailable. 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. 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, . Don't like taping and want the paper version?
