About this product
The Illustration for our Revere Bodice is taken from the August 23, 1861 issue of Der Bazar,
magazine. It is named for the French term which describes the fold-over lapel at the neckline, the
folds at the center back below the waist, and at the outside of the sleeves. It is very much like a jacket
and can be worn over a full blouse like TV441 Garibaldi Blouse, or a chemisette and undersleeves.
Made of wool or heavy fabrics, it is a nice winter style, or made of light cottons or silks, it can work
for summer styles as well.
Our bodice has the wide 2-piece sleeve common to the early 1860's. It is
based on the standard 3-piece bodice, with 2 darts at the front and a curved side back seam. The front
and side are also fitted with a "fish seam" at the waistline, to help smooth the fit over the hips.
For this pattern, please disregard any attempt at standard sizing. Everyone is unique in body
type and size, and we have come up with a totally different way of managing patterns. We have
included comprehensive directions on how to size and adjust this pattern for a good fit. Although we
can t fit everyone, we have tried to do some of the guess work for you. These methods are a little
different than what you may be used to, so please read them carefully, before cutting out pattern
pieces.
