She often wore a soft, loosely fitted blouse of light cotton or silk with a high collar to accentuate her slender neck. A blouse worn with a skirt became the American woman's favorite fashion. By 1905, the Sears Roebuck catalogue offered 150 versions of this blouse, from cotton to lace and taffeta.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe high-collar, back-buttoning yoke style is still just as flattering today. This blouse is lovely over a skirt or it can be cut longer to tuck in. Instructions for optional tucks and lace insertion are included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur sewing pattern features the full-shaped front gathered into a rounded yoke, embellished in View B with clusters of tucks and lace insertion. Three-quarter length sleeves are gathered at the shoulders and into narrow cuffs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn View A, the high collar and yoke are finished with lace; in View B, rows of stitched lace replace the collar, as was the fashion. Tucks and lace insertion on the body of the blouse are optional. Instructions are given in View B for a traditional bias bound cuff. The back opening and cuffs fasten with tiny buttons or hooks and eyes; clusters of gathers at center back are held in place by narrow ties, which encircle the waist and tie in front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuggested fabrics:\u003c\/b\u003e Soft lightweight fabrics such as batiste, lawn, muslin, silk, gingham, or calico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Edwardian, late 1800s to early 1900s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYardage chart (.pdf)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis pattern is available as a Paper pattern and PDF pattern.  Choose the option you want at the top. \u003c\/strong\u003e The PDF pattern has layered files for print at home (A4 or 8.5x11\"), copy shop A0 and 36\", and a projector file, as well as instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLEARN MORE: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to sew lace insertion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTips for sewing sheer fabrics and lace.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Gibson Girl Blouse: a short story\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe also have insertion and edge lace that works well for this pattern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\nChange the back opening to a shoulder opening (sewing hack)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResources for sewing the 205 Gibson Girl Blouse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOTE: Piece J is a rectangle that you must cut to the specifications in the pattern instructions. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Folkwear","offers":[{"title":"Paper Pattern","offer_id":47133201432748,"sku":"lfl1788602320955","price":11.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PDF Pattern","offer_id":47133201465516,"sku":"hyp1788602320956","price":10.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/6348\/3308\/files\/205-gibson-girl-blouse_1.jpg?v=1788602326","url":"https:\/\/chicbagluxe.shop\/products\/205-gibson-girl-blouse","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
