Deze info komt rechtstreeks van Black Snail Patterns:
Two different sleeves are included: 1. a one-piece elbow-length sleeve, 2. a long two-piece and narrow sleeve, reaching the wrist and buttoned there. Optionally you can add a “wing” on top of sleeve two.

The dress is closed at the center front with hooks and eyes, the front can be sewn classically plain or as a cutaway front. The back is pleated with a cut-on skirt, alternatively back and skirt can be sewn as separated pieces (with little alterations of the sewing pattern). All pieces from fashion fabric are attached to a base from lining as usual at that time.

Underneath the petticoat different types of bum rolls and hip pads are worn to reach the desired silhouette. For the Robe a l´Anglaise best serves a crescent-shaped bum roll (included in the pattern).

The overskirt is pleated into small folds and attached to the bodice. Up to size US 18 (EU 44) two panels with a width of 55” (140cm) are needed, from size US 20 (EU 46) you´ll need three panels.

A seam allowance of 5/8" (1,5cm) is included.
