Sew the look using our 1869 Bustle Dress pattern, now in one style, but with a few alternates coming next year!
Above: Back view of the currently offered 1869 Costume pattern.
It is a 17-piece pattern originally by La Mode Illustrée for the waist, skirt, basque and sash. Part of a Victorian series of patterns with TheBarringtonHouse.org, this pattern is according to today's sizing standards. 3/8" seams are allowed. Best for advanced sewers or those accustomed to sewing historical styles.
Below: Future variations coming from the same basic dress pattern, as for the 1869 Costume.
