TV449 – 1861 Revere Bodice

(2 customer reviews)

$12.00 – $17.00

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 TV149 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.

The E-Pattern contains the following formats:
Letter/A4 – Prints on 40 sheets, needs assembly.
A0 – Prints on 2 sheets, needs assembly.
Shop Copy – 36×80″ page 1.

  1. Katie Litchfield (verified owner) –

    I purchased this as an e-pattern. It was easy to download and assemble the pattern. Easy ends there. I am fairly experienced with patterns and dressmaking. I have never had trouble like this before. I don’t understand how this pattern works. I don’t know what it wants me to do. I need diagrams or a video, something, I’m probably going to have to give up on this simply because I can’t understand it. I don’t see anything online to help. Also, the pattern sizing seems to be off. I found my size only to have it come in about 3″ too small. I’m so upset with this.

    I got the paper pattern for this bodice and made it with velvet body and satin reveres. Even using those fabrics, it was not particularly difficult to put together. I had already made TV440 – 1859 Pagoda Bodice a couple years before (also paper pattern) and struggled with it a bit getting it to fit properly, but it came together fine in the end. After reading through the directions (guidesheet) carefully multiple times and comparing the steps to the pattern pieces, it eventually made sense. The design and tailoring from this era are very different than modern patterns, so that previous experience certainly helped me understand how to approach this pattern. I should also mention that I have been sewing since I was eight years old and have studied historical clothing design on my own and made several Renaissance outfits (along with countless modern ones). Still, from the previous reviewer’s complete confusion, it sounds like she may be missing the directions on the e-pattern. Not having purchased e-patterns from here, I cannot say where to look for them, but would recommend calling the company to ask.
