 Sizes XS-2XL 

Turn-of-the-century women lingered over breakfast in this soft, pleated, closely fitted house dress or “wrapper” before struggling into their corsets. This pattern recreates this Day Dress look.  The buttoned front lining and the princess line in the back pull in the dress creating a fitted bodice, while pleats at center front and back are held in place with waist ties and simple square collar. Rounded yokes, finished with ruffles over the shoulder complete the traditional dress and may be omitted for a simple version. Full sleeves are gathered at the top and finished with simple buttoned cuffs.  The skirt, fitted over the hips, falls to a wide flounce at the ankle. 

The pattern may be cut street length (contemporary) or as a blouse. For day or evening wear, the dress is perfect in challis and crisp silk as well as traditional cotton calico.

Note: This pattern is from Folkwear's former 208 Calico Day Dress.  We have increased the size range, improved the instructions, and re-released the pattern as 246 Calico Day Dress (#208 was taken by 208 Child's Kinsale Cloak over the years). 

Era: late Victorian to early Edwardian

Suggested fabrics: Lightweight cotton and blends, silk, lightweight wools, rayon. Originals were made in cotton calico, percale, cashmere, sateen, challis.

Nice Purse
Size: One Size, Color: Gold-tone Hardware/Black, Size: One Size, Color: Gold-tone Hardware/Black
I loved this purse so much that I purchased a second one when the first one was worn out. The second one actually is a little longer by about an inch. My only complaint is the second one does not have a zippered pocket inside. But it’s a beautiful purse and great for traveling.

Nice but smaller than expected.
Size: One Size, Color: Brown/Acorn
I would give this purse 5 stars if it wasn't for the small opening in the purse. Not much room inside. Smaller than expected but it's a nice purse overall and if you don't carry much in it.

Definitely worth purchasing!
Size: One Size, Color: Admiral/Pale Blue
This bag is great for your everyday essentials. It is not too big, or too small. The feel is perfect both of the bag’s material and also on your shoulder. It is a purchase you won’t regret making.
