This is a DIGITAL sewing pattern based on an extant dress from about 1840.

The dress is based on an extant day dress from the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and dated from 1837 to 1840, made of a floral printed challis.
The dress features some typical details of the time period, like a wide and rounded neckline, contrasting piped seams and the wide sleeves pleated to fit round of the top of the arm and held in place by two piped bands of fabric, cut on the bias. At the wrist, the excess width of the over-length sleeve is gathered to fit a narrow cuff.
The fashion fabric of the bodice is mounted on a tight fitting lining bodice from a polished cotton fabric. The front panel from the fashion fabric is divided at the center front and stitched together again with a piped seam. The neckline is decorated with a ruffle, cut on the bias and the loose edge neatened with the same silk ribbon as used for the piping. The bodice closes at the center back with hooks and eyes.
The skirt is made from several widths of fabric. At the front and side portion of the bodice, the skirt is laid into regular knife pleats, the remaining width of the skirt is gathered to fit the smaller back portion of the bodice. If wanted, the gathering can be replaced by small, rolled pleats or cartridge pleating.

This dress should be worn with a matching corset and petticoat.

Defective clasp
Color: Sweet Lilac, Color: Sweet Lilac
I recently purchased this bracelet and while I love the design, the lock is unfortunately not functional and won't stay secure.​ I am torn on this review. The bracelet is absolutely stunning I'd give the look a 5-star. It looks high-end and the design is perfect. ​The functionality is a 1-star. The lock is completely defective and does not stay closed, which makes it unwearable. It's disappointing to have such a beautiful piece that I can't actually use. If the clasp worked, this would be a perfect purchase.

Beautiful but hard to lock/closed
Color: Pearl White
It’s really nice. The only reason I put only 4 stars is because it’s hard to close/lock it by yourself. Takes a few seconds, but everntually you’ll get it. Love that it’s mother of pearl and 18k gold plated, you won’t worry that it will smell like a rust. Material and quality is good. I have a big wrist and the size is just perfect for me. This is less than 8 because 8 is too big for me and 7 is super right only, not much allowance.
