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.

Soft and comfortable.
Size: King 3 Inches
The packaging was big and heavy and required 2 persons to move. The pad is soft and very comfortable. The latex had a bit of smell, but not too bad. Overall I am satisfied with the product.

Inaccurate
Size: Queen, Size: Queen
It was advertised as having an organic cotton cover, it came in a polyester cover. I thought because of the name “Talatex” that it was talalay latex, it is too firm to be talalay though. It’s a decent firm latex topper with a cover, but overall I feel it was deceptive inaccurate advertising.

Great mattress
I bought a Saatva that gave me horrid back pain because I’m plus-sized and a stomach sleeper. I started floor sleeping to rectify it, and I love this. I put it on a thick workout mat, and topped it with a folded mattress topper. I sleep well. Sometimes I sleep too well.

Cool-temperature outer cover
Set name: UltraCool Pillow 2-Pack, King - Soft/Medium, Item length width: 40.0 Inches
The pillows (set of2) are easily fluffed and adjusted to personal desire. The outer cover is cool to the touch. I do not feel "cooler" with the pillow, but it does not get hot like some. I'm a side sleeper and sleep comfortably with the Slumber Cloud. I would buy these again. Con: pillow cover is slick, so pillow cases slide off.

not cooling for post menopause
Set name: UltraCool Pillow, Standard - Medium/Firm Firmness, Item length width: 30.0 Inches
As a post menopausal person I did not find this cooling at all. The material is memory foam which holds heat but more importantly my head sinks in so that half of it is always surrounded by the pillow, trapping heat. It IS a supportive, soft and comfy pillow. For cooling though, I found it better to buy a firmer, thinner pillow which keeps my head from sinking into it, allowing heat to dissipate.
