SIZE

This pattern is available in one size only.  Bust 36", waist 30", hip 39"

 

- Difficulty -

Intermediate difficulty.  Instructions are original to the time period and are somewhat minimal

 

-Size Information and Yardage Requirements-

 

For fabrics, we suggest a nice, crisp mid-weight cotton (such as quilting lengths). This also would be lovely in a linen, or even a velveteen for more formal occasions. It can also be made in a rayon challis for a cool summer dress. Don’t forget your interfacing and four buttons for the bolero! For the dress you will need one 9” zipper.

 

 

 

-Additional Notes-

Because this was based on a period original, a mock up is HIGHLY SUGGESTED.  Test construction and fit on your unique figure before cutting into your fashion fabric.

 

About Wearing History Resto-Vival™ Patterns

 

Resto-Vival™ Patterns are original historic patterns that have been restored and revived.  Original patterns are usually available only in single sizes, precut from tissue paper and totally unprinted, with details like grainlines and darts indicated only by small perforations.  Resto-Vival™ patterns are printed on sturdy bond paper instead of tissue and clearly marked with drawn and labeled markings.  These markings aid the modern sewer in understanding the markings of the original pattern and the construction of the garment.  Resto-Vival™ patterns follow the period shapes of the original patterns, maintaining the historical accuracy of the completed garment.  Original period instructions are included. These instructions are text only (unless otherwise noted) and fairly minimal, especially compared to instructions for modern patterns.  At least an intermediate knowledge of dressmaking and a good familiarity with pattern construction is suggested.  You may choose to have a modern or period sewing book handy to help with basic construction methods that the pattern instructions do not cover in detail.  Also, fitting a muslin mockup is strongly recommended, as all garments were meant to be worn over period foundation garments or corsetry.

Best phone holder I have ever purchased!
Color: Dark Black, Size: 1 Pack
Hands down the best phone holder I have ever purchased. The ones that stick to the windshield always end up coming loose. This attached to your vent and is super sturdy. Very easy to install and uninstall without making a mess on your window.

Well worth it. Great product.
Size: 1 Kit, Size: 1 Kit
For the inexpensive price it’s worth its weight in gold. I admittedly probably didn’t work on it as long or as hard as I should have, but I still had great results. *** One warning: when it says to “tape up and cover your paint around it” do it! I figured I would just be careful but no I was wrong. It will REALLY damage your paint, so make sure you don’t get any on it. YES- This is the sanding discs too! They have chemicals on them, they are not regular discs. If you do get on paint, clean immediately! My only regret with this project and my fault, not theirs. My headlights went from dingy yellow, to much brighter and definitely more clear. Love the results. Very happy with the purchase.

Great for the price
Size: 1 Kit, Size: 1 Kit
Worked great at clearing my headlights and at a great price, I had used a different headlight kit maybe 5-6 months before and it did not perform as good as this kit did, maybe it was a user error with the previous kit but this one cleared it easily and was very easy to do and had a nice clear shine.

I'm Not Disappointed ...
Size: 1 Kit, Size: 1 Kit
I knew going in that my expectations shouldn't be very high because my car is a first generation 2010 Kia Soul. So its old with 16 plus years of yellowing oxidation and some abrasion. I took a chance with doing this because of the reviews and pictures. To my surprise, it worked better than I anticipated and could hope for. My driver side(left) headlight was horrible but my passenger side(right) wasn't too shabby and didn't require as much care. This would have turned out better if I had power drill attachments of the same sanding grit to do this. My arm is going to be really sore come Sunday. 😆 It wasn't too hard to follow the instructions as they were very simple for the application process. I don't know about the 2 years for it lasting, but for now, its durable. Once I drive at night, I'll be able to But all in all, it worked for me and its better than before I tackled it. All in all it looks good, I feel like I'll have a better beam when night 🌙 driving.
