Buy the 246 Calico Day Dress sewing pattern from Folkwear. Turn-of-the-century women lingered over breakfast in this soft, pleated house dress before struggling into their corsets. The buttoned front lining and back princess seams pull in the dress, creating a fitted bodice, while pleats at the centre front and back are held in place with waist ties and a simple square collar. Rounded yokes finished with ruffles complete the traditional dress, but may be omitted for a simpler version. Full sleeves are gathered at the top and finished with buttoned cuffs. The skirt, fitted over the hips, falls to a wide flounce at the ankle. The pattern may also be cut in a contemporary street length or as a blouse.
