 Sizes XS-2XL 

Turn-of-the-century women lingered over breakfast in this soft, pleated, closely fitted house dress or “wrapper” before struggling into their corsets. This pattern recreates this Day Dress look.  The buttoned front lining and the princess line in the back pull in the dress creating a fitted bodice, while pleats at center front and back are held in place with waist ties and simple square collar. Rounded yokes, finished with ruffles over the shoulder complete the traditional dress and may be omitted for a simple version. Full sleeves are gathered at the top and finished with simple buttoned cuffs.  The skirt, fitted over the hips, falls to a wide flounce at the ankle. 

The pattern may be cut street length (contemporary) or as a blouse. For day or evening wear, the dress is perfect in challis and crisp silk as well as traditional cotton calico.

Note: This pattern is from Folkwear's former 208 Calico Day Dress.  We have increased the size range, improved the instructions, and re-released the pattern as 246 Calico Day Dress (#208 was taken by 208 Child's Kinsale Cloak over the years). 

Era: late Victorian to early Edwardian

Suggested fabrics: Lightweight cotton and blends, silk, lightweight wools, rayon. Originals were made in cotton calico, percale, cashmere, sateen, challis.

Nice Shorts!
Color: Khaki, Size: 40
The Tacvasen Men's Cargo Shorts are comfortable and fit really well. The elastic waist band makes all the difference in the world. I don't even have to wear a belt to keep my shorts up. They are made of cotton twill so I'm sure they will be durable as well. I picked the kaki color. I feel that I got good value for my dollar. I would purchase them again and recommend them to other's.

Nice pair of shorts…
Color: Navy, Size: 34
They fit as described, wash well and the pockets are ample. I wasn’t thrilled with the waistband at first but my mind was changed and it turns out to be a good feature with or without a belt. They’re affordable and the quality of the fabric is nice. They wash well too! Not too short, not too long and I believe it will be a durable pair of shorts. Overall very satisfied and would recommend…

Tacvasen men shorts
Color: Navy, Size: 40
This Tacvasen shorts are the best. I’ve been trying to find the perfect pair of shorts for me but had no luck. A lot of people talk about the poor quality of Amazon’s products, but that’s not the case this time. I recommend these Tacvasen shorts to any shopper, good quality, and comfortable.
