From Past Patterns: "Dinner gown made of black silk and damask with a large open rose and rose bud, this dress is an example of a "pattern dress." The pattern dress was sold as a kit. This particular kit was purchased in Paris, France and brought back to the United States as a gift for Mary Francis Ball Mauck. The kit included enough material for two gowns, blue-red bodice facings, printed blue sateen for the bodice lining, Valenciennes lace, stays, hooks and eyes, etc.: in other words, the kit was complete. The garment was made and the paper pattern was destroyed so that no one could copy it. Lace decorates the small collar and the inside of the cuffs of the gigot sleeves. The skirt is cut distinctively different from any you have ever seen and creates a drape over the hips unequaled by modern patterns. Two large pleats at center back control two godets and turn them into a sweep at the hem. Made with black silk velvet, brocade, or a jacquard silk brocade, this gown is formal elegance at its best." This is one of the early Past Patterns, dating to the early 1980s. The pattern is uncut, and the pattern and instruction sheets are in factory folds. The paper is yellowed on edges and folds, but is still perfectly intact. From a smoke-free home. Click images to enlarge Images sell!
