TV491 – 1893 Blouse Waist

(1 customer review)

$14.00 – $22.00

This is a basic gathered Blouse Waist, which was popular in 1893. It has a gathered front and back, with a fitted lining. The center front is cut on the straight of grain, for use with plaids and stripes. The sleeve is the Balloon Sleeve, popular in 1893-94, and has a fitted lining. The Jabot is removable. The gathered blouse waist style was popular from the 1880s, and with a different sleeve, can easily be adapted to the late bustle era. Or, left sleeveless, it can be used effectively as a “vest” for wear under jackets for an 1880-1900 look.

The blouse is drafted based on a tailoring method actually used in the 1890’s. Each size is hand drawn, not scaled. All of the blouse seams are true to the era, and it is designed to fit over a corset.

1 review for TV491 – 1893 Blouse Waist

  1. Hilary Ray –

    A very satisfying final product. I have sewn two of these; when making the first one (in a hurry), I inadvertently sewed two left sleeves. It wasn’t immediately visually obvious because of the extraordinary fullness, but it felt odd when I wore it.
    My second effort was produced with greater care and more time. If you are a less-confident seamstress I recommend hand-basting a lot and checking as you go. As the description indicates, this blouse relies on the shaping of a corset; unless you are very very slim, it will probably fit poorly.
    I would have appreciated some additional markings to identify the *front* of the sleeve pieces, particularly the exterior (fashion) fabric, but I thought the finished garment was flattering and looked very authentic.
