{"product_id":"folkwear-227-edwardian-gown","title":"Folkwear 227 Edwardian Gown","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eBuy the 227 Edwardian Gown sewing pattern from Folkwear. This is Edwardian charm at its best. A composite of several originals, this gown captures the essential elements of Edwardian charm - the high neck, puffed sleeves, nipped-in waist, a sumptuously full sweep of skirt, and as much lacy detail as the eye can behold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll views feature bodice and hip yokes that descend into long panels in the front that end at the waist and hem. The bodice fullness is softly gathered into the yokes and a full circle skirt falls from the hip. The sleeves, while full and puffed at the cap, are snug-filling below the elbow. The centre-back opening may be fastened with hooks and eyes, buttons, or a zipper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eView A is the simple antique design which provides smart contemporary styling. It is unembellished, has a stand-up collar and modern mid-calf hem length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eView B features lace insertion. The collar is made entirely of lace. A deep flounce creates a floor-length hem, and yards and yards of easy-to-sew lace insertion on the yokes, sleeves, and skirt are perfect for bride and bridesmaid alike, as well as afternoon tea gowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eView C is the piece de la resistance, with all the features of View B, plus additional lace insertion on the sleeves, skirt, and flounce. The crowning touch is a myriad of tiny pin tucks on the bodice and hip yokes. A lovely twelve-inch train completes the gown. The great variety of fine detail makes this a gown worthy of heirloom status, yet it is entirely machine-sewn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original gowns were always made of very sheer white cotton, so if you are planning an authentic ensemble, you will want to make the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thefoldline.com\/product\/203-edwardian-underthings\/\"\u003e203 Edwardian Underthings\u003c\/a\u003e and\/or the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thefoldline.com\/product\/princess-slip-226\/\"\u003e226 Princess Slip\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e (available to download immediately after purchase). \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthefoldline.com%2Fhow-to-buy-sewing-patterns%2F\u0026amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C2055db73b3ff43fa6a0c08d812112ec9%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637279212288807611\u0026amp;sdata=jGOEMr6nT4ZZme5CCL3wpMxImes8GGoiMxBHviYtfeQ%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop \u003c\/strong\u003e(We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these.
