Original Gown NEW MORE IMAGES OF THE ORIGINAL IN OUR LIBRARY The First Test Run of the Allie by Dana	PAT-Allie This pattern is based on an original in my collection, and options are taken from ideas from other period gowns as well as pattern catalogs. This pattern can be easily adapted for any season by choice of fabric, but the original was meant as a summer gown with its ¾ length sleeves, and unlined bodice. It would have been easily washed, and the slight flounces and self bias trim would hold up well when laundered. It was what would be known during the natural form period as an easy fitting basque, or simply by leaving the dart out- a "half fitting sacque" Options included are full length sleeves, simple bias binding techniques, and a roll collar Historical notes, notes on the original, design change ideas including fancy "house gowns" and clear instructions with drawings help you turn this cute and comfy dress out in record time. This dress originally made use of many "speed sewing" and money saving techniques to create a very classic styled dress for the average woman.
