1850s Dessous Pattern Cover
I have always been inspired by the fashions of the 1850s! All the detailed work (done by hand) frills and bows, pin tucks and lace... I love it! This pattern of undergarments is designed to be as complicated or as simple as you like.

I show you my technique for dealing with pin tucks, making them BEFORE cutting the pattern pieces. However, if you like you can forego the tucks and instead add trims and lace for decoration, the results will be beautiful! Have fun sewing!
