 Sizes XS-2XL 

Turn-of-the-century women lingered over breakfast in this soft, pleated, closely fitted house dress or “wrapper” before struggling into their corsets. 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. 

The 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.

Note: This 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 208 Child's Kinsale Cloak over the years). 

Era: late Victorian to early Edwardian

Suggested fabrics: Lightweight cotton and blends, silk, lightweight wools, rayon. Originals were made in cotton calico, percale, cashmere, sateen, challis.

Sponge Holder
Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Black, Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Black
This sponge holder is a simple upgrade that makes a big difference in keeping the sink area clean and organized. The suction cup holds firmly to the side of the sink, so it doesn’t slide around or fall off like cheaper options. It easily fits both a sponge and a steel scrubber, keeping them elevated and allowing them to dry quickly, which helps prevent odors and bacteria buildup. The open wire design is especially useful because it allows water to drain instead of pooling at the bottom. Installation is quick and requires no tools—just press it onto a clean surface and you’re good to go. It also keeps the countertop clutter-free, which is a nice bonus. Overall, it’s durable, functional, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Great value for anyone looking to keep their kitchen sink area tidy and hygienic.

Nice if the suction cups wouldn't have been deformed
Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Brushed Metal
Update: The one I received had two suction cups deformed and wouldn't stick to the side of the sink. Realized this after placing it. Unreturnable. Perfect size. A little wider than the rest. Replacing my last one that didn't rust for years. It was fine except the hard water made the suction cups not stick otherwise it was lasting for years.

Needs modification to work correctly.
Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Brushed Metal, Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Brushed Metal
It is okay, but the brushes fall through the holes' making them hard to retrieve. The only way to get them out of the holder is to pull up on the bristles or push the handle from the bottom. Both don't work well. My solution is simple, just install a "stop" below the holes. My solution is ugly but works. It took me about 15 minutes to modify.
