TVE47 – 1908 Countryside Blouse

(2 customer reviews)

$12.00 – $17.00

Our Countryside Blouse is based on a photograph of a farm girl taken around 1908-1910. Similar style elements are found in fashion magazines from 1907-1909. It has a yoke that covers the top of the shoulders, with front and back panels that gather onto the yoke. The sleeve is a bishop style, and can be long or just below the elbow. Both sleeve lengths have a placket and button cuff closure. The front has a button placket closure, and closes at the neck with collar studs. An optional detachable collar can be added over the collar band of the blouse. The back waist is gathered, and tie strings are added to tie around the waist, controlling the pouf of the blouse.

What is interesting about the original photo from the fashion plates, are the gathers to the yoke. Most fashionable blouses for these years are tucked, instead of the gathered. This gives the blouse a more rural/utilitarian feel to it. A four-in-hand tie or bow tie can be worn with the detachable collar, but is not included in this pattern.

The E-Pattern contains the following formats:
Letter/A4 – Prints on 34 sheets, needs assembly.
A0 – Prints on 2 sheets.
Shop Copy – 36×65″ single page.

  1. Yaëlle (verified owner) –

    I absolutely adore this pattern! Used it twice, the first time was my first time ever sewing a blouse/shirt-type of garment and I was particularly satisfied with the result. Instructions are thorough and really helpful, I even used them as a basis to construct other shirts with improvised patterns afterwards, that was a great way to learn the basics of shirts construction while not struggling too much.

    I only had to recut the neck hole, as it was way too small, and I enlarged the collar piece in consequence. Everything went smoothly, and the pattern is great both for machine and hand sewing!

    And the fit is great, it’s a pretty blouse that fits both historical-ish outfits and more modern stuff, looks great with and without a corset underneath, overall I must recommend it.

    Be advised that while you can pretty reliably just pick up a pattern and go on with sewing the actual garment with most Truly Victorian patterns due to the entirely different way of calculating your pattern size, even for someone like me who’s a rather peculiar shape, this one you definitely should do the mock-up for! The neck hole was very small for me also and the sleeve placket fell in an awkward place on the short sleeve option and I had to re-do them. Learn from my mistakes, just make the mock-up first!
    THAT SAID it is a lovely pattern after the adjustments with comprehensive instructions for the complicated bits and the resulting garment is quite lovely and suitable for corset/no-corset wear.
