 Sizes XS-2XL 

Turn-of-the-century women lingered over breakfast in this soft, pleated, closely fitted house dress or “wrapper” before struggling into their corsets. This pattern recreates this Day Dress look.  The buttoned front lining and the princess line in the back pull in the dress creating a fitted bodice, while pleats at center front and back are held in place with waist ties and simple square collar. Rounded yokes, finished with ruffles over the shoulder complete the traditional dress and may be omitted for a simple version. Full sleeves are gathered at the top and finished with simple buttoned cuffs.  The skirt, fitted over the hips, falls to a wide flounce at the ankle. 

The pattern may be cut street length (contemporary) or as a blouse. For day or evening wear, the dress is perfect in challis and crisp silk as well as traditional cotton calico.

Note: This pattern is from Folkwear's former 208 Calico Day Dress.  We have increased the size range, improved the instructions, and re-released the pattern as 246 Calico Day Dress (#208 was taken by 208 Child's Kinsale Cloak over the years). 

Era: late Victorian to early Edwardian

Suggested fabrics: Lightweight cotton and blends, silk, lightweight wools, rayon. Originals were made in cotton calico, percale, cashmere, sateen, challis.

Way too big
Size: XX-Large, Color: Light Gray
Can't really speak to the quality of the suit as it was only tried on, but the look was nice enough. Purchased based on measurements and sizing guide and it was huge. Probably could have gone 2 sizes down but didn't have time to reorder in a different size so just returned. Ordered XXL for son who is 6ft and 220lbs. He wears a large to XL in most tops and a 33x34 in most jeans. Many reviews advised to size up. He was drowning in the XXL. Color was nice light gray.

I sized down
Size: Large, Color: Navy Blue
This suit fit very well! And looks very sharp. It looks great with or without the jacket. I had to size down from my normal large to a medium, but as someone who’s skinny tall, I’ve always wavered between medium and large.

Very pleasantly suprised - good quality, for a great price!
Size: Large, Color: Black
I ordered this suit for my son, for Prom. I was nervous that it was going to be poor quality, or the fit would be really off, but was absolutely blown away by the quality, for the price. ..its a great deal for good quality. Especially for young men. For reference, my son is tall (6'2") and medium/slender build. He usually wears about a 33" waist. I ordered him a Large but maybe could have gone XL. It does seem to be a slimmer fit. He doesn't usually wear XL in anything.
