Gibson Girl Blouse Pattern Vintage 80s Folkwear 205 Petite to Large Bust 30 – 38 Uncut

Description

Gibson Girl Blouse: The Gibson Girl epitomized the feminine ideal at the turn of the century. She often wore a soft, loosely fitted blouse of light cotton or silk with a high collar to accentuate her slender neck. A blouse worn with a skirt became the American wonan’s favorite fashion. By 1905 Sears Roebuck catalogue offered 150 versions, from cotton to elaborate lace and taffeta. This Folkwear pattern features the full shaped front gathered into a rounded yoke, embellished in View B with clusters of tucks and lace insertion. Three-quarter length sleeves are gathered at the shoulders and into narrow cuffs. In View A, the high collar and yoke are finished with lace, in View B, rows of stitched lace replace the collar, as was the fashion. Tucks and lace insertion on the body of the blouse are optional. Instructions are given in View B for a traditional bias bound cuff. The back opening and cuffs fasten with tiny buttons or hooks and eyes; clusters of gathers at center back are held in place by narrow ties which encircle the waist and tie in front. Traditionally high waisted in back, this blouse is lovely over a skirt or it can be cut longer to tuck in.
