- In this video I examine a circa 1911-1914 blouse that was part of a dress. We make a list of what original components are included, see the order of assembly, and I give tips for what I would do when planning a sewing project based on this blouse.
You can get the pattern referenced in this video at wearinghistorypatterns.com and wearinghistory.etsy.com

Your breakdown on this makes it look so much easier to sew than it first looks. Very inspiring! ~ Val
Awesome! So glad it was helpful! Even though the lace insertion is time consuming I love the sneaky ways they found to make things look more complex than they were.
I really like how you break-down the material use and construction method in this video. It's very helpful for projects where there are "no rules" yet a clearly particular style involved. Blouses like these really depended on you being a person in that moment of time in fashion and "getting it" by being in the thick of it. It's hard to be a 21st century person looking back, trying to develop an eye for their fashion sense when we are not entrenched in it ourselves.
I’m so glad it was helpful! I love looking at these blouses and dresses because they’re like puzzles to figure out ❤️. Once you start looking it’s so much easier to interpret catalog and fashion images
We would love to see you construct yours! Very helpful and inspiring
This was such an interesting and enlightening tutorial! I've made your blouse pattern and can see how easily this would translate. Thank you!
Yay! That makes me so happy! Thank you for buying and making the pattern 🥰
Modern reproductions of the wavy collar support wires can still be had, very cool to see originals in situ!
That’s true! I think Richard the Thread still sells them :)
This was a really helpful video - thank you so much for sharing this! How common would it have been to wear a dress like this without the guimpe? The v-neck design is so pretty!
Were those wiggle wire/collar stays just attached with a few stitches or do you think they were encased in something that has been lost?
Usually the wiggle wires aren’t encased, they’re just tacked down. And when they are celluloid there would be little drill holes at center top and bottom, so just sewn directly down. I’m trying to remember if I’ve seen encased boning, but I don’t think it’s quite as common as the faster method of the wiggle wires or celluloid. Great question!
Interesting!
Also you're right it looks like it has seen some horrors.

Lol it probably explains why I was the only one willing to adopt her at this estate sale! 🤣
