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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis 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 \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.folkwear.com\/products\/208-kinsale-cloak-for-young-maidens\"\u003e208 Child's Kinsale Cloak\u003c\/a\u003e over the years). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEra: late Victorian to early Edwardian\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested fabrics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight cotton and blends, silk, lightweight wools, rayon.
