Pink Cotton Polonaise with Ruffled Black Satin
Petticoat & Matching Mask I made this gown for myself from Butterick Pattern #3640.
I ended up raising the neckline a bit (unlike the
green
polonaise) and
used hooks and eyes for the front closure. The bodice of the gown
is lined in the same material as the petticoat. The petticoat pattern
is the one I use for most of my patterns (two rectangular pieces sewn
into a simple waistband with a slit left open on one side). Sewed
this and many of the other items in this gallery on my 1917 Franklin
treadle sewing machine. Finally upgraded to a modern electric
sewing machine back in 2004 or 2005. The mask is made from a cheap
frame covered in the the same fabric as the dress with lace, ribbon, &
sequins hot glued on.
