New! 1870 - 1890 Sunset Knoll Polonaise, Tea Gown and Redingote
$28.00
No. 1880-15 The polonaise was popular
for day wear and evening wear throughout this period. The redingote, which essentially
was an undraped, rather severe version of the polonaise, was not as popular, but it was still quite fashionable from 1883
- 1890. It was worn by fashionable working women, or ladies with more austere tastes. The tea gown was most fashionable for ladies serving tea at home, but it became a style in its own right. It
might be draped or undraped.
This pattern has two variations
in the neckline: the standing collar and a square evening gown neckline. The sleeves may be cut three quarter
length for reception or dinner wear; or full length for day wear; for evening or ball wear, there is also a short sleeve,
or they may be left off altogether. The back pleats may be single or double, wide or narrow.
Includes all sizes Petite - Full
