Childhood Dreams - Girl's gown sewing pattern by Folkwear

Girl's Sizes 2-12

Folkwear Sewing pattern for gown in two views and two lengths with sewing instructions.

As popular with the little ladies as with their mamas, many versions of this pretty gown were originally mail-ordered through the Sears Roebuck Catalog, the couturier to rural America in the early 1900s. View A has a ruffled neckline and is cut above the knee for sizes 2-6, below the knee for sizes 8-12. View B features a wide triangular ruffled collar, godets for flare, and the traditional ankle length. Both views are full and flowing with three deep box pleats in back; the front is gathered into a gently rounded ruffled bodice yoke, Both are closely fitted to the upper body with a long buttoned opening at left front. Long puffed sleeves are finished with slip-over wristbands and ruffles that fall gracefully over the hands. This pretty gown is equally at home in Mother's boudoir or as a daytime dress for Sunday visits to Grandma.

Ships in 1-2 business days in a bubble lined envelope.
